Dangerous Roads and Accident Hot Spots in Ridgefield
Route 35 running north and south through Ridgefield is the town’s primary arterial and carries a mix of local residential traffic, commercial deliveries, and through commuters connecting Danbury to Greenwich and Stamford. The section through downtown Ridgefield near the Main Street commercial district sees consistent pedestrian and cyclist conflicts given the town’s active street life.
Route 116 heading west toward South Salem, New York is a rural connector with high speeds and limited shoulders that generates serious accidents, particularly where unfamiliar out-of-state drivers encounter the road’s geometry for the first time. Ridgefield’s proximity to New York means a meaningful share of accidents involve New York state vehicles.
Peaceable Street and Ramapoo Road in the residential interior of Ridgefield are examples of rural roads where deer strikes and single vehicle accidents are common and emergency response times are longer than in urban settings.
