Opinion: Cranberry Highway traffic pattern creates hazard

Sep 7, 2022

To the Editor:

Construction along the Cranberry Highway has already resulted in a hazard. This is located by the Water Wizz complex.

As I turned into this turn around. Two large SUVs pulled in from the oncoming lane. Because of them, I was blind to oncoming traffic. I was unable to pull away from the blind turn around and faced with calculating the safety of completing my turn.

The median prevents crossing lanes for left turns when leaving parking along the highway. However, it has created a more dangerous problem for residents of Buzzards Bay and East Wareham.

Sincerely,
