While the information contained in the article may be beneficial....In what world are the majority of these locations "intersections"?

This is a disgrace for all Rhode Islanders. How are we going to attract visitors to this state?

Marc, I think that when an on-ramp and off-ramp are within 100 feet of each other, that qualifies as an intersection. Same for when you enter the highway and immediately face an "exit only" lane. When merging, you are intersecting.
