Candia Four Corners, New Hampshire

Candia Four Corners, New Hampshire

The Candia Four Corners is a village located near the center of the town of Candia, New Hampshire, in the United States.

Roads

The name "Four Corners" refers to three roads which intersect at the village center: High Street, Main Street, and Deerfield Road. High Street, running east-west, is a portion of New Hampshire Route 27, which stretches from Hooksett (to the west) to Hampton Beach, New Hampshire (to the east). This road was formerly the main east-west thoroughfare through southern New Hampshire, but was replaced by New Hampshire Route 101, a four-lane expressway to the south of the Four Corners. Main Street, departing to the south, and Deerfield Road, going north, make up a portion of New Hampshire Route 43, which originates in Candia at NH 101.

Businesses, organizations, and town facilities

Much of the town of Candia's business, governmental, and recreational facilities are located near the Four Corners. On High Street, Precision Auto Body and the Petrin Funeral Home make up the commercial establishments. The Candia Town Hall, Moore Park, and the Smyth Public Library are also located on High Street. Deerfield Road is the location of the [http://www.candiavfd.org Candia Fire-Rescue] Station and the Henry W. Moore School. The Candia House of Pizza is located on the Main Street side of the Four Corners. All of these facilities are located within approximately 500 feet of the main intersection, effectively making it the focal point of the town.

Traffic lights

This intersection, arguably the busiest in Candia, for years was controlled only by a blinking light warning motorists of the danger of the intersection. However, after years of serious crashes and congested traffic, the light has been transitioned to a more typical red-yellow-green traffic light. This was the first and continues to be the only traffic light in the town of Candia.
