Dangerous Roads: Where is the one in your area?

The intersection of Plum Point Rd. and Wilson Rd in Calvert County, Maryland is a particularly dangerous one. Traffic coming West through the intersection is accelerating to proceed on Plum Point Rd towards Highway 4. Most traffic on East bound Plum Point Rd is going to turn right onto Wilson Rd, but there are the brave few heading home that proceed straight through the intersection. Wilson Rd has a stop sign, but if you live in Maryland you already know that STOP doesn’t mean STOP. Wilson Rd. traffic tends to turn left onto West bound Plum Point.
The driver leaving Wilson Rd too often assumes that east bound Plum Point Rd traffic is going to turn right on Wilson. This assumption has caused numerous near misses as the Wilson Rd car turns left in front of traffic going East.
Every Maryland neighborhood seems to have an intersection like this. It is an intersection where driver behavior is predictably dangerous. Remember that cars don’t kill people, people driving cars kill people.
Bicyclists, joggers, and pedestrians have a difficult time here as well. Drivers do not use extra caution despite the impaired visibility caused by trees and bushes on the side of the road.
