    Traffic in Avon

    Avon and Canton have grown significantly over the last 20 years are so. Understandably, traffic has increased and gotten worse over the years. Lights and left turn lanes have been added at most intersections, which helps. There are still a few intersections that are problematic in my opinion. One which comes to mind is the Staples / Dunkin Donuts parking lot on Route 44 at 167. I routinely see drivers headed west trying to take a left either into the lot or a left out of the lot. Both scenarios require crossing the 3 lanes of Route 44 traffic headed east. For those of you who do this, you might find it easier to use the left turn lanes installed at 44 and 167, entering and leaving the lot via 167. Just a thought.
