Back in 2013, iBerkshires put together a list of the 10 worst intersections in Pittsfield. Four years later, They were wondering if things had changed.
iBerkshires reports that the state Department of Transportation prioritizes safety when determining which road projects it undertakes.
And that starts by knowing where the most dangerous intersections are located. MassDOT and Berkshire Regional Planning Commission track accidents and create a list of trouble spots. The higher the score, the higher the number and severity of accidents at that location.
