Dysfunction Junction (US 9 and NY 73) outside of Keene

The intersection was built long before the Northway, which was wasn’t completed until the late 1960s.

According to an engineering book at the time, the design is a “bulb type-T intersection” that “favors the heavier right-turn movement from the upper to the lower left leg of the intersection. Sight distances are excellent and approach speeds are approximately 40 miles per hour.”
