How is the Concord Rotary worse than Newton Corner?
Newton Corner has like 10 roads feeding into it, multiple bus stops in the middle of it, traffic lights, and multiple roads that can't get cars out of it fast enough.
I don't find any of the ones on that list bad but I learned to drive here while regularly navigating some of them. That said, I do love the "Newton Corner Supercollider" nickname for it.
As someone that grew up with one, and lived near the other for a long time, the Newton Corner rotary is much worse. The only way the Concord Rotary could be considered worse is that it causes a backup in traffic way down route 2 through Acton and beyond.
The reason the Route 2 rotary is the worst in the state isn't because it's particularly bad to drive through (it's pretty straightforward, especially since they redid the signage and lane painting last year.)
No, the reason it's the worst is because it's in the middle of a fricking highway. That thing causes massive traffic jams every morning and evening that make East-West commutes just that little bit more hellish.
