A system and method for warning a driver of a host vehicle of a potential collision with other vehicles when turning at an intersection. The method includes determining if the host vehicle is likely to turn at the intersection, and if so, segmenting the intersection into a plurality of different regions, where each region has a different level of collision threat risk. The method obtains the speed, velocity and position of the host vehicle and any relevant remote vehicles in the intersection. The method determines a predicted path of the host vehicle and the predicted path of the remote vehicles. The method then determines whether the host vehicle and the remote vehicles will simultaneously occupy a collision zone in the intersection based on the predicted paths, and if so, issues a warning to the driver of the collision risk or apply vehicle controls to avoid or mitigate the collision risk.
