Roadway Departure
Roadway departure occurs when a vehicle unintentionally leaves its travel lane, crossing either the center line or edge line of the road. This can happen due to factors like driver distraction, fatigue, adverse weather, or loss of control. Such incidents increase the risk of crashes with other vehicles, roadside objects, or rollovers. Advanced safety features, such as lane departure warning systems and guardrails, aim to prevent or minimize these events, enhancing overall roadway safety.
