The corner of Roosevelt and Tandberg Trails in Windhamis a very busy intersection, especially in the summer. Roosevelt Trail is the gateway to Sebago Lake for residents and visitors alike, and that means a lot of cars end up stopped at the light, sometimes backing up several cars deep. The intersection is also in the shopping area of Windham, so a lot of traffic is entering and exiting from every direction.
Some plans are being considered by the Town of Windham to help ease the traffic congestion, which include everything from lane markings to building bypasses. In the meantime, it seems some action has been taken just before the busy Memorial Day weekend to help solve a chronic traffic issue at the intersection of Tandberg Trail and Abby Road.
