Brockton in number 1 on the list with the worst intersection in the State. You guessed it:
"The state’s No. 1 worst intersection is where West and Pleasant streets meet in northwest Brockton, near the entrances to the Westgate Mall and D.W. Field Park,"

Its not that bad if you have half a brain and understand the flow of traffic. Its the idiots that just got their licenses and people new to the US. I think the bigger problem is people, not the design of the intersection.

The intersection is not a challenging one.....but too many people are in a hurry to get the EBT cards and do not abide by the laws!

Seriously?
There's Something wrong with the design of that Rotary, If you could could back through the Archives of the old InBrockton, you would see the significant amount of concerns and comments. It's already had design changes. It's confusing even to those who actually live in Brockton.
"In a 3-year period, West and Pleasant was the site of 102 total crashes with injuries reported in 49 of them."
"Nearby is No. 13 on the list, the corner of Ash and West Elm streets in Brockton, just east of Thorny Lea Golf Club. In the 3-year span there were 93 total crashes, 23 of them with injuries reported."

I've been through that intersection many times and at different times of day. The biggest problem is drivers not knowing which lane to get in and I don't think its because of a design flaw, just stupid drivers.

Although I agree that there are lot of dumb people driving through that intersection, I believe the lights and signs are also to blame. Facing West Street coming off the highway there are three lanes. Only the far left one goes left. Sometimes the traffic in the evening is such that, you are unable to get to the left. So, people sit in the two that go straight and cut over, or vice versa. If you want to take a right onto Pleasant near old Central Music you must wait in the "straight only" lanes during busy times. Then, if you are heading straight towards Westgate with West Junior High behind you, you must curve to the right and then left near Walgreens just to go straight. Poor design and careless people = #1.

If you're unfamiliar with the area it's easy to get in the wrong lane if no one will allow you to.
Once you are in the wrong lane, you're fried unless someone will allow you in and we all know
that isn't going to happen.
Poor piss design and no denying it. How can anyone know what's ahead unless it's marked
ahead of time instead of the very last minute?
O course if you're required to take a left, you get in the left arrow lane, but what if you then
need to take an immediate right? Can't! Stupid is stupid!
