Changes are being made to a dangerous intersection in Maine.
Starting on Monday, May 13, Bean's Corner in Jay, where Routes 133 and 156 intersect, will become a four-way stop. Right now, only drivers on Route 156 must stop.
According to data from the Maine Department of Transportation, there have been 136 crashes at the intersection since the start of 2020. That makes it the intersection with by far the most crashes in town and all of Franklin County.
Message boards were put up on Route 133 this week to alert drivers of the upcoming change.
The intersections with the most crashes in the state every year are both in Augusta: the intersection of Memorial Circle and Western Avenue and the intersection of Bangor Street, Cony Circle and Cony Street. Those are the two traffic circles on either side of the Kennebec River on Route 202.
