Do You Think Sound Avenue Is Safe?
In light of a number of recent tragedies, do you think something can be done to improve safety on the road?
Sound Avenue was originally built as a simple farmers' road, a winding, quiet back road meant to link Riverhead and Southold -- and never designed to handle the amount of traffic it now sees on a daily basis, officials say.
Over time, with the number of people using the road spiking sharply, and, with the number of tragic accidents mounting on Sound Avenue, some believe that officials should take a look at the dangerous curves on the dark and winding road, with an eye toward enhanced safety for drivers.
What do you think? Do you feel that Sound Avenue is a dangerous road? What would you like to see happen, to make it safer for everyone? Do you drive on Sound Avenue, or do you prefer New York State Route 25? Share your thoughts on this subject in the comments section.
