Corner of 3rd and Jordan has extremely erratic traffic pattern. Most drivers treat it as a four way stop but many don't. As a result, it is very difficult to judge when to proceed if traveling north and south on Jordan. In addition, if east/west is treated as a flashing yellow, you can sit for several minutes waiting to proceed north or south.
Due to the Sare/Rogers close, lots of traffic is coming through Hyde Park along Olcott. Now that school is out, there are more small children out playing and I saw one nearly hit by fast car yesterday. Could we put one of those signs up to show the driver speed relative to the actual speed? I really appreciate the police cars driving through or stopping but when they aren't here, people speed again.
The new traffic pattern at 3rd and Jordan (due to construction) is extremely dangerous. Traffic on Jordan has a flashing red light, traffic on 3rd a flashing yellow -- drivers on Jordan cannot tell that the traffic on 3rd doesn't stop. Not only is there a lot of confusion at this already very busy intersection, but people crossing the street can't see the yellow light at all and cannot cross safely!!
3rd / Jordan has flashing red on Jordan and flashing yellow on 3rd. This is very dangerous because 1) people on Jordan don't know it isn't a 4-way stop and 2) pedestrians can't get across the street. It should be flashing red for everybody.
On work days just before 8 am city work teams leave the garage at Henderson & Miller in mass headed for job sites. It is unfortunate that their timing coincides with a busy time for commuters adding to traffic woes. Could they leave 15 minutes earlier or later?
Now that Rogers Road is closed due to construction of the roundabout at Sare Rd., there has been a significant increase in traffic cutting through the Spicewood neighborhood. That in and of itself is bad enough, but many of the vehicles are speeding or blowing through the stop sign at Spicewood and Round Hill. This is creating a danger for us trying to enter or back out of our driveway, or crossing the street, since we live just over the crest of the hill at the intersection. When we back out of our driveway, we are counting on southbound traffic stopping at the stop sign. If they proceed through the stop sign at 30 mph they may not be able to avoid broad siding us as we back out of our driveway. The same holds true for when we pull in our driveway.
We moved into a new house recently and there is a car parked in front of it on the street. It has been there for months, since we first looked at the house in March. The windows are partly open and the hood is slightly open. It looks to be abandoned. It is in front of our house, which is annoying, but it also jams up the traffic a little bit because it is very close to the entrance to a busy street. Can I have it towed away? We live on S. Highland Avenue just off Hillside. The car is a forest green dodge convertible, I think. I have tried to knock on the neighbor's door to see if they know whose it is but haven't been able to catch them at home, I don't know them otherwise.
I just passed Highway 46 and Walnut. As Walnut comes into town (near McDonalds on the North side) the street lanes are being painted. The painting on Walnut is crazy as there is a giant unused space that will not be used by motorist. They will instead do as they are today and use this area to expedite there dirve to the turn lanes. Someone needs to check this out ASAP.
