Special crash report

The Duxbury Clipper took accident data, available in raw form from the Department of Transportation's Mass Highway Division, from the year's 2005-2008 and plugged it into a customized, interactive map in order to pinpoint areas in town that were accident "hot spots." Those numbers were used as the basis for the two-part report below.

To explore the maps, click on the boxes below. Maps are organized by year. Blue pins represent an accident with property damage only, red means non-fatal injury, green is for a fatal injury and yellow means not reported. Zoom in to your street and see where accidents have occured, and hover over an individual marker for data like date, time, number of cars, road conditions, etc.

You can also download or view the raw spreadsheets we pulled the crash data from (via Scribd.com): 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005.

Please report any error on the maps to editor@duxburyclipper.com

First roundabout no easy task
Sunday, September 04, 2011 12:00 AM

The proposed roundabout at Winter Street and Route 53 won’t be Duxbury’s first.

 

The roundabout near Exit 11, at the intersection of Lincoln and Congress streets, was one of the first of its kind in the state. The intersection was a problem for many years and saw dozens of accidents, including fatal ones. All that stood at the intersection was a blinking yellow light (which hasn’t proved useful at Winter Street or Bailey’s Corner, either.)

First proposed in 1999-2000, the project was supposed to take seven months and cost $372,000. It stretched longer than that, however, as Duxbury officials had to pressure the state to complete the work.

The roundabout lowered the speed limit to 25 miles per hour and slowed traffic approaching the on and off ramps, cutting the number of accidents there.
