Southampton, PA victims are helped by attorneys Saile & Saile LLP

Southampton, PA located about 18 miles North of downtown Philadelphia, is divided into Lower Southampton and Upper Southampton. The primary roads that run through Southampton, PA are Street Road (Route 132) and Second Street Pike (Route 232), both very heavily travelled and congested roads. County Line Road, a portion of the PA Turnpike, Knowles Avenue, Davisville Road, Bristol Road, and Maple Road are other roads of note through Southampton where numerous Bucks County car accidents occur.

Two of the most dangerous intersections in Southampton, PA are located at Second Street Pike (Route 232) and Bristol Road and Second Street Pike (Route 232) and Street Road (Route 132). As for the first mentioned intersection, the foliage is terribly overgrown, making it difficult for drivers to see around corners, especially those making right-on-red turns. These natural blind spots put a driver in peril causing many car accidents.

Left turns are common at the intersection of Second Street Pike (Route 132) and Bristol Road, but there is no left turning lane or arrow. Therefore, car accidents are commonly a result of people passing on the right in order to avoid waiting in a line of traffic, while oncoming motorists attempting to make left turns are often unable to see these passing cars coming toward them. Furthermore, this Southampton, PA intersection has its fair share of red-light-violators, another reason car accidents and personal injuries occur at this Bucks County intersection.

The intersection at Street Road (Route132) and Second Street Pike (Route 232) is especially busy, with left turning lanes and lighted arrows at each corner. Drivers hate to miss those green arrows and the plain green lights after having waited so long in a line of traffic to get through the intersection.

Drivers often continue through the intersection well after the left arrow and/or green light has expired which has caused car accidents. This is a very dangerous situation for oncoming traffic proceeding legally on green lights. Numerous Bucks County, PA car accidents have resulted at this congested intersection due to the running of red lights.

Second Street Pike (Route 232) is a two-lane road, which runs north and south. Along Route 232 there are many service oriented businesses such as hair salons, dry cleaners, auto repair shops, tailors, and funeral homes, along with coffee houses, restaurants, strip shopping centers, pharmacies, churches, schools, and residential homes.

At any time of day you can find traffic along Second Street Pike in Southampton, PA to be stalled getting through the various larger intersections due to the high volume of cars traveling this two-lane road.

Impatient drivers cause car accidents by using the right shoulder of the road as a lane, not taking care (such as using turn signals) when pulling in and out of parking lots, and speeding, making it dangerous for other drivers to re-enter Second Street Pike from a parking lot, residential driveway, school or park.

If you have been injured in a Southampton, PA car accident, call a local and experienced Bucks County car accident lawyer at Saile & Saile LLP.
