Newton Supercollider is third most dangerous intersection in Newton.

<8 accidents each for most of these in the past 8 months. Doesn't seem that bad all considered

#1 is at Newton-Wellesley?

I drive past there every day so I'm not surprised (is it because of the lanes randomly shifting as you pass the Beacon intersection heading east? people not knowing which hospital entrance to take? general dumbery?) but wow lol

at least it's convenient

E: #4, which I also pass daily, is the police station. Stop being silly Newton.

Keep in mind that rate of collision is not always equal to the level of danger. Roundabouts have lower collision speeds as well as avoid head on and t bone collisions.

Have you ever actually driven through through the Newton Supercollider? Step 1 is to drive fast so people won't pull out in front of you.

there’s a reason for the nickname (which I just heard here now but I love it and will be using)

I appreciate that we all call it this now.
