Rolling through stop signs. 

• We know this is a habit many struggle with but to ensure everyone’s safety, it’s important to come to a complete stop at any and every intersection you approach. 

Slowing down to look at crashes or construction. 

• Rubbernecking is not only dangerous, but can contribute to a chain reaction of slowed traffic and potential crashes. Keep your eyes on the road ahead of you to ensure you’re following road rules or police directions. 

Disregarding the speed limit. 

• While speed limits vary by state and are typically posted, we recommend using the following ranges as a general guide if you don’t see a posted speed limit:
  • Residential area: 15-30 mph
  • Undivided road (rural): 40-55 mph
  • Divided road (rural): 55-70 mph
  • Freeway: 55-65 mph
