The emerald nightmare: Why the Jamaicaway is the toughest road to drive in Boston
The Emerald Nightmare: the Riverway, Jamaicaway, and Arborway are a treacherous, deadly legacy of a great idea. The Jamaicaway is the most dangerous and toughest road in Boston, with 1,615 reported crashes reported on the three connected parkways since 2015, including 501 that resulted in injuries. Since 1989, there have been at least 20 deaths on these three parkways, mostly due to a vehicle hitting a tree or crossing the center line and striking an oncoming vehicle. The problem lies in the design of the Emerald Necklace, which was designed by Olmsted in the 1880s to immerse travelers in nature. Since then, the roads have been widened to accommodate two lanes in either direction, but the curves are still as Olmstead designed them. The most dangerous stretch stretches from Longwood up until Forest Hills is considered one of the worst stretches in Boston.
