Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most dangerous roads in the Town of Babylon?
Sunrise Highway through Lindenhurst and Bay Shore is the town's primary accident corridor. Montauk Highway through Babylon village, West Babylon, and Amityville is a secondary high-accident road. The Southern State Parkway approaches to the Sagtikos Parkway interchange (Exit 41) are a consistent accident cluster, particularly during the evening westbound rush.
How do I get to Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip?
Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center is located at 1000 Montauk Highway in West Islip. From Sunrise Highway, take the Bay Shore Road/Montauk Highway exit and continue east on Montauk Highway approximately one mile. The emergency department entrance is on Montauk Highway. The hospital can also be reached from the Southern State Parkway via Exit 40 (Bay Shore Road).
Is the Sagtikos Parkway dangerous in Babylon?
The Sagtikos Parkway through the Town of Babylon carries significant traffic volumes connecting the Southern State Parkway to the LIE and Robert Moses Causeway. The interchange at the Southern State (Exit 41) is a complex multi-ramp area that generates merge conflicts. In summer, southbound traffic to Robert Moses State Park backs up severely on the Sagtikos, creating a rear-end collision risk when parkway-speed traffic encounters stopped vehicles.
