Driving in New England is certainly different than driving anywhere else in the United States. There are many hills and winding roads that litter the six New England states. Along with the difficult geography, the weather plays an inimitable part in the conditions of the roads. The constant changing of the weather, from freezing cold to mildly warm, creates bumps called frost heaves as well as many, many potholes. Lastly, there are many unique intersections that are not typically found in America. Rotaries are circular intersections where people drive counterclockwise around a center island and get off at their desired exits. These can be found all over New England. There are many individual intersections that can be confusing for new drivers. Kelley Square in Worcester, MA, for example, has ten roads all intersecting into one area. All of these factors have contributed to many accidents occurring all around the Northeast corner, and there are ten intersections in which drivers have particularly bad luck. GoLocalProv put together a list of the most dangerous intersections by factoring in total number of accidents, fatalities, injuries, and property damage.
