CONWAY — A state proposal to address a problem intersection by the Conway Police Station was greeted with skepticism Monday from area residents who said a roundabout would make exiting East Conway Road impossible and that a traffic light would be a better idea.

However, the New Hampshire Department of Transportation believes that is the correct solution to the intersection at East Conway Road and Route 302 (Eastman Road) where a couple was killed on their motorcycle on Labor Day 2018.

“Modern roundabouts are a proven safety countermeasure with less daily delay than signals or all-way stops. They are designed so trucks can travel through them safely. With more than 7,000 in the US today (compared to France's 30,000 or Australia’s 20,000) you can be sure more will be constructed.”
