Milton Intersection Second on Statewide Top Crash Locations Report

A Milton intersection is second on the 2010 Top Crash Locations report, released by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation in September.

The intersection of Randolph Avenue and Chickatawbut Road was second on the Top 200 High Crash Intersection Locations list, which was compiled using police data and information from the Registry of Motor Vehicles.

Between 2008 and 2010, the duration of the 2012 report, there were 73 accidents at the intersection of Randolph Avenue and Chickatawbut Road. There were no fatal accidents, but 40 injury crashes.

While many towns and cities have multiple intersections in the report, Milton is listed just once.

The Milton intersection finished behind the VFW Highway and Varnum Avenue intersection in Lowell, which has a total of 161 crashes.

Several intersections in the top 200 had more crashes than Randolph and Chickatawbut, but the volume of injuries placed it toward the top of the list.

In the previous report, created from data with information between 2007 and 2009, Randolph Avenue and Chickatawbut Road was sixth on the crash list. There were 125 crashes in that time frame, with 24 injury accidents.

The same intersection was 45 on the list in 2006-2008 with 66 total crashes.

The report is one of the tools used for the Statewide Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) to identify safety projects in the commonwealth.
