The Route 110 Corridor and Bus Accident Risks in Melville
Route 110 is one of Long Island’s busiest commercial corridors, running through Melville and connecting Huntington to Amityville and the Southern State Parkway. Suffolk County Transit buses operate along Route 110 and surrounding roads, sharing lanes with commuter and commercial traffic in a corridor full of driveways, shopping centers, and office park entrances. The density of vehicle traffic, combined with the frequent stops and wide footprint of transit buses, creates consistent accident risk for other road users.
