Adding some sort of pseudo-rotary has made Worcester, Massachusetts's Kelley Square go from Massachusetts's most dangerous intersection down to its eighth most dangerous intersection lol
Somehow still never had any traffic lights at any point.

- wolpoli 4y agoIt looks like they reconfigured the intersection into a roundabout, which eliminated the weird geometry of the previous design and reduced the options available to drivers to just entering and exiting roundabout.
