Recent snowstorms across New York and New Jersey have created perilous driving conditions, leading to a surge in traffic collisions due to blizzard conditions. The accumulation of snow and freezing temperatures has resulted in icy roads and significantly reduced visibility, making driving especially hazardous. While main highways are cleared by plows, many side streets remain snow-covered, causing uneven traction. Additionally, high winds blow snow back onto cleared lanes, further diminishing visibility and making it difficult for drivers to see lane lines and signals. The formation of black ice on bridges and overpasses is a particularly dangerous hazard, as these areas can remain slick even when surrounding roads appear dry.
