Andover Street and Dascomb Road

This is a tough intersection if you are heading towards Ballardvale from Andover center. As you ride down the right side of the road you face a difficult choice. You can try to keep looking over your shoulder or in your mirror as you cross the curve where cars bearing right onto Dascomb tend to be moving really fast. The other alternative is to stop and walk your bike across the road. You might have the right of way, but that doesn't mean too much in a car/bike matchup. If it is a quiet Sunday ride, I'll do the over the shoulder check. At busy times, I stop and cross.
