CONWAY — Today, an engineer with the New Hampshire Department of Transportation will be talking with selectmen about whether there should be a traffic light or roundabout put in at the East Conway Road intersection with Route 302.

State Highway Safety Engineer Michael Dugas told selectmen that as of 2014, the 302/East Conway Road intersection was the 12th most accident-prone rural intersection in New Hampshire.

Definitely a problem area. I'd be OK with either a traffic light or a properly designed roundabout. My gut feeling is the light is the way to go. I like roundabouts in the right places, but some drivers don't handle them well. I'm also not sure that a roundabout does much to improve this particular traffic problem.
