Hawthorne Circle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hawthorne Circle was a notably dangerous traffic circle located in Hawthorne, New York, United States until 1972 when it was replaced with a three-level interchange. The circle once connected three busy highways, the Bronx River Parkway, the Taconic State Parkway, and the Saw Mill River Parkway. With over 67,000 cars passing through the area daily, a traffic circle would be even more dangerous today than it was in 1972.
For many years after the circle was eliminated, the interchange was sometimes misleadingly still known as the "Hawthorne Circle", especially in radio traffic reports.
