The 5 Most Dangerous Roads In New York State
Most people take the same routes to work and home every day. Here in New York State, there are plenty of trouble spots for motorists and it can be unsettling to drive down certain roads, especially if they're highly condensed with cars.
Dangerous roads exist all over New York and it's not just in the New York City region, although it's always dicey on many of the roads in and out of the Tri-State area.
Certain main thoroughfares can be just as dangerous as highways and even more so since there are streetlights, stop signs, crosswalks, parking lot entrances, and a host of things for motorists to consider as they're driving.
Many times, the layout of a certain road or highway is to blame for why it can be so dangerous.
