Line of sight problem due to bushes.
Line of sight problem due to bushes.
People park on Driscoll at corner of Washington AT the stop sign. Essentially makes the street one way. Also you can’t see the speed limit sign in the Driscoll block from walnut to Washington. New building also has no curbing painting for corner of alley along with fire hydrant !!!
Fairfield Dr. is a 1-way road, yet there are no signs on many access points to signify it as such. Traffic often goes the wrong way. This is one frequent occurrence location.
Between approximately 1910 until about 1925 on 3/21/24, I witnessed 6-8 vehicles drive south in the northbound lane in the construction area from Fountain then turning west on 7th St. The vehicles ranged from a full-size truck pulling a trailor, the kind to haul a riding lawnmower, to an either 2-door or small 4-door car and judging from the high speed at which the car drove and the timing of the next northbound car, the southbound car entered the construction zone at the same time or after the northbound car entered from Kirkwood. This was all within 15-20 minutes on the 4th day of the closure.It's going to be a problem.
There is no sign instructing vehicles leaving the Jordan Avenue garage driveway that they are entering a roundabout, so most of them turn left by entering the roundabout and immediately turning left. This causes near-head-on collisions as vehicles driving south on Jordan follow the roundabout around to enter the parking garage driveway.
At the intersection "T" of Adams Hill Circle and Countryside Lane, there are rows of trees along Countryside - both sides (right and left) - when stopped at the STOP sign on Adams Hill Circle you the line of vision is obstructed by trees that need very sever trimming. You cannot see oncoming traffic from the right (coming WEST toward Summit Elementary) until halfway in the road. This road is on an incline and then EAST going traffic appears over rise and you are in the middle of the road to see traffic. TREES NEED TRIMMING!
There's something else going on in the neighborhood. The Indiana RR trestle on Adams Street is hit about twice a week. A RR truck took a look at it a few days ago. Rebar is exposed again, they will have to fix it. A neighbor says the trestle is hit about twice a week. I saw a semi with a 40-foot trailer turn around at 6th Street and Adams. Closing Vernal Pike is squeezing traffic, and maps don't help. How about a "No Trucks" and "Low clearance ahead" signs at 5th and Adams?
The 7th & Jefferson sign is bent over. Also, the stop sign at this intersection, on 7th heading west, is covered over by tree limbs. Thanks!
At the intersection of Allen St and Strong Dr.,vehicles park along the curb up to and past the stop sign, making it dangerous to make a right turn. Is there a law that states a certain distance away from stop signs is required? Thank you for your time.
There is a near constant gridlock on 10th St. near campus due to the concern for allowing students to cross the street. Perhaps an underground tunnel would help. It is a daily nightmare.
