Suffolk County has created online maps that track traffic crashes that cause injuries and fatalities. The map shows the locations, dates and times of each crash. "There are approximately 35,000 traffic accidents in Suffolk County each year….The purpose of the site is to provide residents, government agencies and policy makers equal access to information that will allow them to improve the decision making process regarding traffic safety issues," says the county’s website. The site shows strip highways with many driveways, such as Route 110, Route 27 and Route 25 with the most accidents. This is consistent with federal data compiled by the Tri-State Transportation Campaign last year that found Route 25, Route 27, and the LIE as the most dangerous roads in NY State. http://gis.co.suffolk.ny.us/accident.htm#
