There are frequent accidents and near-misses at the intersection of Norton and Maple. There have been two serious collisions here this summer (one this morning), each hurling one of the impacted cars up onto the sidewalk, narrowly missing the utility pole. (The next time it could hit the pole, a parked car -- which has happened in the past -- or a house.) This occurs because Maple St. has stop signs and Norton Street has nothing, so the east-west travelers on Maple pause and then keep going, while the north-south travelers on Norton speed into them. It is also difficult for the cars on Maple Street to SEE oncoming traffic proceeding on Norton Street due to parked cars. We need a change - a traffic light, 4 way stop or at LEAST better signage on Maple Street warning drivers that the Norton St traffic does not stop and has the right of way.
