Just recently, I’ve had a few close calls on this one particular road that I just happen to commute everyday on where it involves oncoming traffic to cross over the yellow line. While it’s not totally the other driver’s fault, it can be a dangerous situation if you’re not careful.
When it comes to “dangerous roads” we usually automatically think highways. But according to Munley believe it or not, highways are generally safer than regular roads. While traffic accidents can happen anywhere, statistics show that highways have a lower rate of fatal accidents and injury crashes compared to local and arterial roads due to the fact most of the cars are traveling straight in the same direction.
Is This The Most Dangerous Road In Massachusetts?
The road I use to cut over from Mohawk Trail to US Route 7 everyday to go to work and back is Massachusetts Route 43. The route actually begins at the eastern end of New York State Route 43 in Hancock. I happen to travel more to and from the opposite direction where it ends. This road is also known to have pedestrians that jog or ride bicycles along side at the crack of dawn which becomes a hazard for some drivers if their not careful. That’s what makes this road pretty dangerous in my opinion…
