What intersection do you think is most dangerous in Andover?
Andover police and town officials worked hard last year revamping signage and fixing traffic issues, some of which were designed to make areas of town safer.

This week Andover Patch is asking readers to let us know which is the most dangerous intersection in town. Is there a dangerous intersection we missed? Let us know in the comments section.
