The intersection of state routes 111(Atlantic Ave) and 151 (Post Rd) in North Hampton has been a well known problem for many years. Numerous accidents including several severe accidents have occurred at this intersection. There is at least one known fatality that occurred in 2010. Quick fixes have been installed but do not work. We, the residents of North Hampton request that town and state officials immediately address and resolve this dangerous intersection before one more accident takes place.

Miss you Rick. I hope that no one else will ever have to go through what you and your family have. Don’t let my friend be just a statistic. Fix this problem now!

Those of us who live near the intersection can attest that there are many near accidents each and every day. Brakes squeal, horns blast and when the weather is warm there is audible yelling/swearing as these near misses occur. It is only a matter of time before a pedestrian or bicyclist gets hurt!

This intersection is particularly hazardous for motorcycle riders. I have had several near misses here while traveling south on 151. I have gotten into the habit of slowing down and using my left directional to make sure any eastbound 111 vehicle attempting to cross KNOWS I'm continuing southbound on 151. Please do something here

My car was totaled at this intersection a couple of years ago and I walked away with only minor injuries. To this day I hold my breath when going by. Even after this horrific accident and with signage in the area, last week I had to hit my brakes to avoid another collision. Something needs to be done...please.

Intersection is incredibly unsafe in such a small town. UNH did a study and found that a rotary is a much safer option. Look it up. It’s also the cheaper option, save lives and a dollar. Win win. PS. Everyone slow down.

Always been a dicey spot, feel ever more so concerned having to navigate my teen driver through it. It never feels safe and many near accidents experienced there firsthand. Please, let’s make this safer.

Had many close calls, most come during the summer months when the beach traffic comes and goes through town.
