Meriden: there seems to be something of a contrast between Meriden’s most accident prone areas and intersections and those reported in Wallingford over the last few weeks. Wallingford’s are concentrated along Route 68 and the awkward crossover of Rt 5, Rt. 15 and that area. Meriden’s, apparently, seem much less chronically identified; perhaps this is because the leading candidate, Broad and East Main, was redone a decade ago. But we are a little surprised that West Main and Cook is not more of a problem.
