    The Southern State had five of Long Island’s 10 worst-rated spots when compared with similar state roads throughout New York. Hempstead Turnpike had 12 segments with above-average accident rates west of the Meadowbrook Parkway.

    There were nearly 24,000 accidents on the Island’s 724 miles of state roads in 2004 and 2005. The DOT’s analysis shows distinct patterns that suggest flaws in certain roads and their surroundings — not just chance or poor driving habits — may have contributed to many of the accidents.
