class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it may seem counter intuitive that the bulk of deadly accidents occur on lonely country roads than the crowded <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Metropolitan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">metropolitan<\/a> streets of Alabama\u2019s largest cities, but the fact remains that these roads share a number of factors that heighten the risk of driving on them.\u00a0 In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the majority of Alabama auto accidents occur in urban areas, the bulk of fatalities, 56%, happen on country roads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any accident can be a jarring personal and financial cataclysm, and when that accident results in fatalities, it can have a shattering impact on you, your family, friends, and loved ones.\u00a0 Knowing what the risks are is a first step in avoiding these dangerous pitfalls. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Drunk_and_Disabled_Driving\"><\/span><b>Drunk and Disabled Driving<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, the scourge of drunk driving is a leading cause of auto fatalities on Alabama\u2019s rural stretches.\u00a0 Owing to fewer cultural activities and opportunities, residents tend to congregate at such venues as bars, taverns, and restaurants, which is the reason why alcohol plays an outsized influence on county road accidents.\u00a0 Additionally, long stretches of road and an overtaxed sheriff department means that many of these impaired drivers are not taken off the road before a tragedy happens.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As such, breaking the cultural acceptance of drunk driving with rigorous patrolling, enforcement of DUI laws and tough court penalties is seen as one way to switch the narrative on drunk driving and thus lowering rates of fatalities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Twisty_Roads_and_Unexpected_Turns\"><\/span><b>Twisty Roads and Unexpected Turns<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike city streets and urban thoroughfares, country roads tend to have narrower lanes, sharper curves, steeper hills, and less visibility around each of these factors.\u00a0 While a metropolitan area typically has a distinct flow and ebb that is easily anticipated and accounted for by drivers, rural roads and county streets offer more surprises to the unwary driver.\u00a0 Moreover, owing to the lack of traffic, many country drivers become too relaxed when it comes to remaining alert to roadside dangers.\u00a0 Familiarity can breed a lack of concentration in drivers as they effectively drive on autopilot from Point A to Point B, and this tendency can lead to accidents and fatalities on our state rural roadways.\u00a0 Additionally, owing toi the above road conditions, those accidents that do occur tend to be far more severe than their urban accident counterpart.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Low_Population_Equals_Low_Tax_Base\"><\/span><b>Low Population Equals Low Tax Base<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rural counties, relative to those counties known for their urban centers, have a much lower population, so they also have a correspondingly lower tax base that can be used to help improve Alabama\u2019s rural roads.\u00a0 Simply states, the cost to adequately post signage and improve road conditions cost money, and counties without the <a href=\"https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/\">wherewithal<\/a> to raise such funds means that county roads go without any significant improvements that might help ameliorate the injuries and fatalities on rural roads throughout the state.\u00a0 Many Alabama jurisdictions are looking towards the federal Department of Transportation to help with matching funds to help close this funding gap while making Alabama\u2019s residents safer out on the road.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Starry_Nights_and_Poor_Visibility\"><\/span><b>Starry Nights and Poor Visibility<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another factor that influences the rate of accidents on rural roads is the lack of lighting.\u00a0 Consider that the street lights that illuminate our city roads rarely extend past the city limits, so the aforementioned curvy, narrow, and twisty roads are also clocked in a blanket of darkness that makes driving even more dangerous.\u00a0 Moreover, driver blindness, caused by another driver\u2019s headlights can impede vision to such an extent that accidents occur as a result.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Two-Lane_Roads_and_the_Danger_of_Collisions\"><\/span><b>Two-Lane Roads and the Danger of Collisions<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike city and urban milieus, which feature lower speed limits, divided highways, and quicker access to medical response teams in the event of an accident, most county and rural roads are two lane affairs that heighten the risk of head-on accidents should a driver make a mistake or lose concentration for even a fraction of a second.\u00a0 When possible, state and county officials work to improve these county lanes by widening the lanes and posting signage designed to give drivers warning about potential dangerous driving landscapes ahead of their vehicle.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Commercial_Mixed_Use_Roads\"><\/span><b>Commercial Mixed Use Roads<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although we tend to think of rural roads as the province of residents, bored teenagers, and the occasional sightseer, the reality is that a great deal of commercial activity traverses these rural routes, and as a result add an additional layer of danger to the roadway.\u00a0 As such, an array of vehicles from slow moving farm tractors to fast moving logging trucks serve to make an already risky route even more so considering the rates of speed, poor visibility, and narrow roads being shares with large commercial trucking concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Call_an_Accident_Attorney_You_can_Trust\"><\/span><b>Call an Accident Attorney You can Trust<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Should you or a loved one become involved in a rural accident along Alabama\u2019s myriad of county roads, you will need to speak with an attorney to ensure that your medical and financial needs are met in the case of an injury, or a settlement for your family should the worst occur in the event of a roadside fatality.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Car accident lawyers in Mobile<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are standing by to make sure you get the legal representation you
