Traffic Related Complaints:

Other: Hello, there is a massive issue with drivers running red lights and stop signs in this city. I have marked a particularly bad intersection (Madison and 11th), however this issue is city-wide. The included intersection has a wall on the bridge that prevents vehicles from seeing around the corner to 11th street, which often means that people just roll right through the stop sign. I've been almost T-boned at this intersection multiple times, and I genuinely fear I may die there some day. I have already been hit once by someone ignoring traffic laws on Third Street, and have almost been hit on foot and in my vehicle countless times downtown. It has gotten to the point where I am afraid to travel around the city. There should be traffic cameras on the stop lights, and more aggressive fines to deter these people casually ignoring safety and traffic laws. I understand that it is hard to enforce stop signs, however I have witnessed (on multiple occasions) police patrol vehicles allowing people to run right through 4-way stops, and some even do it themselves. People are learning that there are absolutely no consequences for driving recklessly around the city, and it has gotten noticeably worse. Please, consider taking action about the extremely unsafe traffic situation in our city.

I appreciate your efforts to bring this to our attention and want to let you know that our department is evaluating that area. Staff reviewed this intersection this year after another report. The observations indicated verification if all (the stop signs, stop bars...etc) are visible. We also reviewed and have continued to keep an eye on crash data. We are working on possible solutions to the concern. We will continue to monitor that intersection. Thanks!

Officers have been made aware of the request for increased traffic enforcement, but passing this along for Engineering awareness in the event that additional signage is deemed to be necessary for vehicles headed SB over the bridge to warn of the upcoming stop sign.
