Smithtown's Most Dangerous Cut-Throughs?

What residential streets have become virtual busy highways for people taking shortcuts?

Some residential streets can feel like busy highways if they're often used as cut-throughs, and can pose a danger to unsuspecting pedestrians. In Smithtown, Edgewood Avenue might be the most notorious shortcut, though we're sure many in St. James will nominate their streets as cut-throughs between Lake and Moriches Avenues or Woodlawn Avenue and Middle Country Road.

What do you think are some of the most highly used and least appropriate cut through streets in Smithtown and the surrounding area? What threats do they pose and how do you think traffic could be better managed or avoided?
