Top 10 Worst Ellsworth Intersections For Crashes

If you think that there is a lot of traffic now in the city of Ellsworth, you're not alone.

Thousands and thousands of vehicles pass through the city on a daily basis, even more so during the warm summer months when the tourists are in town. With residents of outlying towns from both Hancock and Washington County "coming to town" to do their grocery shopping, laundry, get their vehicle repaired, do a little holiday shopping, utilize one of the many medical facilities in the city, or work at the brand new Jackson Lab facility, the place is just plain busy.

Those are few and far between who have never come close to being in a fender bender on roads like High Street, the Bar Harbor Road, or on Bridge Hill. If you've wondered which lane to be in on Myrick Street, or, why those two lanes merge into one, you're not alone. If you've never gripped the steering wheel with all of your strength or pushed the brake pedal all the way to the floor within a millisecond, you're fortunate.
