Fatal accidents involving cyclists occur most frequently...
Statistics
Explanation
Fatal **cyclist accidents** occur more frequently on **conventional roads**, that is, outside cities. This is due to several factors:
- **Greater exposure on roads**: Cyclists are usually more exposed on conventional roads, where they share space with motor vehicles that can travel at high speeds.
- **Road conditions**: On roads outside cities, cyclist accidents are more common on **straight sections and intersections**, where a collision with another vehicle is more likely to occur.
- **Driver behavior**: Drivers of other vehicles may commit offenses such as **driving too fast** or **overtaking incorrectly**, which increases the risk of accidents with cyclists.
- **Less safety compared to highways**: Highways and expressways generally have fewer accidents due to their design features, such as separate lanes and fewer intersections, which is not the case on conventional roads.
For these reasons, it is crucial that both cyclists and drivers of other vehicles take additional precautions on conventional roads to reduce the risk of accidents.
