Speed bump at Morningside drive and park drive needs marking
Speed bump at Morningside drive and park drive needs marking
6th & Washington Street - stop sign .. arrows needed badly painted on 6th St to indicate which lane goes straight and which one is for turning. Also the far left lane is almost impossible to see oncoming traffic due to parked cars on the side of Washington St
Since opening 10th Street after the construction I have seen two people drive into the on coming traffic lane because of lack of marking and a cluttered area due to construction still in progress. The most resent one I just witnessed almost caused an accident. With the addition of the median on 10th Street and the view on the Bypass being blocked by construction barrels this needs to be more clearly marked or someone could get hurt due to lack of signage or direction.
This was taken at 4:59pm... It seems rediculous and even rude to choose rush hour to block the ONLY east-west road that isn't crippled by construction. The driving situation is bad enough as it is- can't this kind of work be done in non-peak hour traffic?
Due to construction on 10th near Fee Lane, the cross walk stripes have been erroded and therefore are not visible. A concern was called into the Campus Safety Office that with students returning that there could be accident with a collision and a pedestrian.
Tree branches obscuring stop sign at east corner of 2nd and Highland Avenue & cars blowing through stop sign.
The entrance to the Kroger shopping center near Walnut and Rohrer Rd. is very dangerous. The Westbound left turn lane on the Rohrer Rd entrance has lost its lane designating paint, and Westbound cars entering the left turn lane are confronted with Eastbound traffic that is not alerted to the existence of a turn lane facing them. I have sxperienced several near-misses, and believe that unless the painting on the lanes is refreshed and visible there is a real danger of a head-on at that point. Help!
The East/West bound traffic routinely run stop lights at this intersection. Often the north and south bound drivers must wait well into their green signal for it to be safe to cross. The same concern is there for bicycles and pedestrians.
At the intersection of Pete Ellis Dr. and 10th St there are no markings to separate turning traffic from non-turning traffic; however, two lanes of cars form, and confusion as to which lane is to be used for continuing north on Pete Ellis is not uncommon. Today we were involved in another close call in which the car next to us also went straight. This resulted in angry honking from the other car, as it always does, even though I believe we were correct. Please mark the lanes in this intersection!!!
Earlier this evening I was in the left lane of Atwater, just west of Jordan Ave, and was behind another, taller car. The car in front of me pulled into the right lane, and that's when I realized it had pulled over because there were two cars heading toward us going west on Atwater. I honked, we all slowed down and stopped, then I pulled into the right lane and pulled up to the first car to inform it that this was a one-way street. The man driving it apologized, said he was from out of town and that he had just figured that out. This is not the first time that I have had this problem on Atwater, but it was the first time I actually thought I might have gotten hit. I strongly suggest adding some more obvious signage at both Jordan and Mitchell, which are the only two spots that I've ever noticed cars not heeding the existing traffic signs.
