When pulling onto Tapp, the tree to the west of the lot is obscuring the view of traffic traveling East.

Why isn’t the speed bumps painted in a yellow or some time of color, so we aren’t tearing our cars up just going the speed limit? Please paint them. They blend in with the road.
I appreciate that you are going to analyze this corner based on the potential Sudbury development. BUT, please change this intersection regardless of what happens with that development. It is already a dangerous intersection with the current traffic flow. There are near misses all day long. The accidents that happen are always bad, not just small fender benders. Allen is too steep. It makes visibility bad and makes it difficult to get traction up the hill and enter Bloomfield safely.
Drivers who have the right away in the intersection, traveling East or West bound, do not know the stop signs have been removed and is now only a two way stop. Drivers will sit in the intersection confused for 2-5 minutes at a time, when they could continue their travel given the right away. There needs to be some sort of signage to signal that east and westbound traffic does not need to stop at the intersection.
Smith Rd often has folks speeding between E Third and Moore's Pike. There are no stop signs and no traffic monitoring... and too many folks just whiz along. It can be dangerous checking the mailbox or crossing the road and animals crossing the road are in peril. Need traffic monitoring and better placement of speed limit signage (the sign near the Lutheran Church is not nicely visible/not effectively placed....and it is the only one). The intersection at Smith and 3rd is horrendous. It is very difficult making a left from Smith to E 3rd and cars behind grow impatient. Thank you.
I live off of Smith Rd and travel the road multiple times a day. I am almost in an accident every time I’m at this intersection. Vehicles that are crossing Smith Rd are constantly going around vehicles trying to turn from Smith Rd onto 3rd St, as if there is a turn lane. I have spent an entire green light attempting to turn onto 3rd St, unable to do so because of this issue. Traffic is frequently backed up. If you do not pull into the intersection while trying to turn onto 3rd St, vehicles crossing Smith Rd display angry gestures and honking because they cannot cross while you are unable to turn. Turn lanes and turn arrows need to be implemented here.
Chuckholes on Muller Parkway at top of hill after exiting State Highway until passing Longview Mobile Home Court. Need repair in both east and west lanes.
Was there a rationale for the recent (this summer) changes to this intersection? With the closure of the 2nd lane of 3rd street it's dangerous to enter from Mitchell now. You're angled terribly to look for oncoming traffic unless you can crane your neck 120 degrees back and to the right. Also, as traffic heads east on 3rd street (from Mitchell) they block any visibility you might have. Are there plans to sort this out with a light, stop sign, or anything?
Stop sign has been knocked down at the Southwest corner
Intersection of Patterson and Rogers, headed west. Catalent has closed one of their entrances so now the left turn lane here backs up (blocking the straight/right lane) because all of them are turning left.
