Summary

Description
English: Southern terminus of New York State Route 30A at intersection two miles (3.2 km) north of Schoharie, NY, USA. View taken from New York State Route 30 (NY 30) as it approaches intersection from the south; NY 30 continues north by turning right.

Southbound NY 30 comes into the intersection via a long downgrade, descending almost 500 vertical feet (150 m) in the mile (1.6 km) north of this intersection, requiring a stop sign. Until the late 2000s the intersection was more oblique and accidents frequently occurred when traffic on southbound NY 30 realized, too late, that they had to stop and traffic on northbound NY 30 and 30A did not. Heavy trucks have also been banned from using NY 30.

Nevertheless, in October 2018 this became the site of a stretch limo crash that killed 20 people when the driver, coming in from the right, failed to stop at high speed and went into the parking lot whose entrance is seen at left, where the limo struck an SUV. Two pedestrians in the parking lot, as well as all in the limo, died.
