What factors make intersections particularly dangerous?

This is part of the road where multiple paths intersect and drivers usually misjudge most situations associated with these paths and how they should proceed.

How can drivers actions reduce the dangers of intersection?

They need to follow every single road or driving procedures associated with intersections for example if a vehicle on your left reaches the intersection after you, you should continue driving but if it arrives first you must make sure that you yield.

When two vehicles arrives at the intersection simultaneously from different roads especially in an uncontrolled intersection where there are no stop signs or any road signs the one on the right has a right of way and the driver on the left need to yield.

Whether it is uncontrolled or controlled intersection drivers need to approach them with caution and not assume that the other drive will do that on their behalf.
