Why Play Highway Hazards?
Highway Hazards targets your Processing Speed, a cognitive skill that helps you interpret incoming information and act on it quickly. As the road gets busier, you’ll need to stay alert, make rapid decisions, and maintain focus—all while navigating obstacles in real time.

Highway Hazards vs Other Speed Games
While all Speed games challenge how quickly you can process and respond, Highway Hazards adds an extra layer of visual complexity and real-time navigation. You’re not just reacting—you’re steering through an unpredictable environment, testing your ability to stay focused and adaptable at high speeds.
