Navigating Complex Intersections in Waterbury
The area near Wolcott St, Stilson Rd, and Lakewood Rd features a mix of commercial and residential traffic, creating a complex and sometimes congested roadway environment. These junctions are prone to collisions, particularly during mid-afternoon hours when traffic volumes increase and driver attentiveness may wane.
Drivers navigating through these intersections must remain vigilant, follow traffic signals, and reduce speed when approaching turns or lane merges. Crashes in these areas often result from distraction, failure to yield, or poor visibility around curved approaches.
