What are key factors that could interact to form a collision trap or offer an escape path as mentioned in the text?

  1. Flat road and clear lane markings

  2. High visibility due to weather

  3. Oncoming traffic with good visibility

  4. Downhill grade increasing total stopping distance

The correct answer is: Downhill grade increasing total stopping distance

A downhill grade can increase the total stopping distance for a driver, making it more difficult for them to avoid a potential collision. The other options listed do not directly relate to the concept of a collision trap or escape path, as they do not impact a driver's ability to stop or navigate safely. While flat roads and clear lane markings can contribute to a safer driving environment, they may not necessarily factor into potential collisions. High visibility due to weather and oncoming traffic with good visibility can also provide beneficial conditions for driving, but they do not directly address the key factors that could form a collision trap or offer an escape path.
