Forgotten Street Construction Sign on Pleasant Ridge Rd (near 3rd St) from spring/summer re-paving work.
I live on Southern drive, which is a side street off of Walnut. I have noticed people speeding on Walnut and it has become increasingly dangerous for other drivers who are following the speed laws. Is there any way that there could be more of a police presence who can run radar and could possibly reduce the speeding on this road? I think it would really help! Thank you!
Workers appearing to interact with the fencing along 1st st at the site of the old hospital frequently park in the blind spot just beyond the hill traveling west bound with no signage or people directing traffic.
Faded traffic paint at the intersection of E Grimes and Walnut makes it difficult to determine which lane is left turn only and which lane is straight or right turn. Left turn arrow is only partial visible and straight arrow is completely gone. This creates unsafe traffic conditions for drivers unfamiliar with the road.
The repaving project at the intersection of High and Moores Pike has been completed for months, but there are still no directional lines painted on the lanes. People are getting in the wrong lane to cross the intersection which is very dangerous. When will the arrows be painted on the lanes?
The left turn lane that was painted on the street where Hillside turns onto South Highland is invisible. We’re waiting for an accident to happen. Please paint the street ASAP. Thank you.
The stop sign at Holiday Dr. and Franklin Dr. is frequently parked too close to. If the curb were painted here or a similar deterrent I believe I could safely drive through Holiday drive towards Franklin with cars parked on both sides much more safely than currently.
Can the City explain how a driver of a vehicle is supposed to see cross-traffic on 7th Street from Morton without being in the crosswalk and almost in the intersection? I was headed north on Morton and came to the intersection at 7th where cross traffic now does not stop on 7th. The buildings, trees, and other clutter to either side of the intersection make it very dangerous to see bicycles and traffic coming on 7th Street. I had to completely block the pedestrian crosswalk and approach the intersection to feel safe about my assessment of cross traffic. This is a very bad design. The entire 7th Street project seems poorly conceived and designed. I have witnessed multiple people driving in the bike lanes. Was the budget so low that stop signs and "traffic keep left" signs were not affordable and we ended up with this mess to just make something work? There are a ton of safety issues I have witnessed. Someone is going to get hurt soon it seems, or taken out by a bus mirror.
I've seen dozens of drivers speed through this Walnut corridor, from 8th St to 12th St, in excess of 40mph. There are pedestrian crossings at 8th and 9th that are completely unusable. Motorists like to speed through the straightaway since there are three lanes. This area needs traffic calming measures to protect pedestrians.
