Multiple times I have witnessed near miss and possibly fatal accidents at the 2851 E Longview side parking on Pete Ellis. The angled parking is “back in only.” Traffic coming from the north on Pete Ellis doesn’t realize that people want to back-in. Traffic from the south who try to park have to make a 3 point turn. The road is too busy for this.
There needs to be a roundabout or traffic light at Prow & Arlington, because it is a nearly daily issue, twice a day, because the intersection is an unprotected free-for-all PLUS inexperienced drivers.
Incredibly horrible job on the intersection of Moore’s Pike and College Mall/Sare Rd. I suspect a bad accident in the near future due to nearly ZERO markings and incredibly narrow lanes. The school buses are unable to get around my tiny car heading west, and I have seen accidents occur nearly every time going north. Please fix this, it is a terrible waste of money. People WILL die or be injured.
The college ave and moores pike intersection is now horrible. What was wrong with the last intersection? The new walking path is really nice by renwick to the roundabout, but this intersection update was so unnecessary. It truly is a horrific intersection. You have two lanes going into one and you have to merge in the middle intersection. I have gotten into an accident almost every time going through here heading northbound to college mall.
I drive through the Moore’s Pike/Sare Rd/ College Mall Rd intersection every time I am out and about. The north-south lanes are now so narrow and NOT aligned well at all. No matter how hard I think about how to be in the correct lane, my choice is almost always wrong. Plus when going north it is almost impossible to stay in the right lane in order to turn right into Kroger -you have to change lanes, when it should be a go straight lane. This intersection worked very well prior to these ‘ improvements.’ DANGEROUS!!! Plus no left turn arrows yet!!!
Backups on N. Smith continue for left turners. Particular concern that the State is not putting in a signal at 10th and Smith with new eastside developments. Left turners from N. Smith already yield instead of stop, creating dangers, because of inability to frankly stop due to small gaps in traffic. A signal or other traffic measure for safe left turns from N. Smith is needed. People will be using that gateway to get to the new hospital site. Same with buses. May be State intersection but City needs to advocate appropriately. Plenty of capacity exists on 10th, IF you can get onto it. Correct this danger before needless deaths occur.
The stop signs along 7th got taken out over the summer and number of car accidents at the corner of 7th and Dunn has risen considerably. I get what you're going for with the straight shot through to campus, but I would appreciate if you'd reevaluate if it's worth it specifically at this one intersection. At first I thought people would get used to it and accidents would slow down, but this has not been the case. This spring the number of accidents has been RISING and there have been THREE ACCIDENTS in the last 48 hours. The sickening sound of crumping automobile plastic, going out to worry about injuries on the part of the involved parties, and having traffic stopped in front of my house on a weekly basis has made living here substantially worse. I think part of the problem is that this intersection REALLY looks like it should have a 4 way stop, and this can be seen by the frequency of drivers unnecessarily stopping on 7th, assuming they have a stop. Also, heading South on Dunn the turn is almost completely blind to the left and cars traveling quickly down 7th are given almost no chance to stop.
Cut through traffic heavy heavy heavy on Morningside with closure on 3rd. That the designated route? Please provide signs for detour if not. Also please assign police officer to monitor now and again in construction. As speeding through neighborhood. Thank you.
Thanks but I see done going outside of the parking place markings into a lane of traffic.

With that in mind, the water-filled barricades are not being used as traffic control devices, but rather as a physical delineation between the seating and the road itself.
I quite often use the road from Lower Cascades Park to Kinser Park and have been involved in near accidents. Why were guard rails not installed on the east side of the hilly, curvy area because the drop-off is significant and not lighted at night? Just a suggestion for all motorists. Thanks.
