Not to be left out, Purchase has a few trouble spots as well, including Westchester Avenue and Anderson Hill Road, where Patch user  said the new WestMed construction is bound to cause more problems. Patch user  agreed, posting that people trying to make a left-hand turn onto Anderson Hill Road from Interstate 287 find themselves in a dangerous situation.

"They need to trim the tree back where the sign is so that they can see that there is no left turn," the user said. "They really have to do something there. Sometimes there is a cop there which helps, but I can't tell you how many times they make a left when I'm coming down Anderson Hill Road, soooo dangerous."

During the before and after school rush, Harrison Avenue and Irving Place is a trouble spot for another Patch user, who said the area is sometimes dangerous.

"Cannot see a thing!" said user . "After one extremely close call, I'll never attempt that route again."

Other trouble spots include Union Avenue and West Street, as well as North Street and Kenilworth Road.
