I think there should be a stop sign at Clarizz and KMart/Bloomingdoods parking lots. It's too easy to slide out onto the road at that intersection.
Cars ZOOM down 12th Street, especially early in the mornings when they are racing to work. This is because there are NO stop-signs between Indiana and Walnut. I would like a stop sign at 11th and Lincoln, or better yet a round-about.
I am requesting speed bumps for Covenanter Drive, between College Mall Road and Clarizz Blvd. This is residential area with two large apartment complexes. It's also a heavily traveled road for buses, bikes and vehicles, as well, as pedestrians. Many use it as a way to cut through the area or to reach nearby apartment complexes, the mall, the large Kroger, or medical offices. Speeding is a concern. Line of sight can also be issue with two bus stops, curbside parking, the road's curve and change in elevation. I think speed bumps would help the issue, just like it has done on Covenanter Drive, going west from College Mall to High Street.
This is the worst stop ever for a bus stop. On two occasions, I have witnessed close calls by drivers stopping very hard and abruptly. It's at a location where the two lanes into the roundabout begin, but cars stop making everyone behind them stop. Very, very, very, very BAD location for a bus stop.
As the city refuses to put a light at the entrance of Blue Ride and N. Walnut you need to lower the speed limit starting at the light at Cascades. When turning left out of the neighborhood it is somewhat blind, so you can often pull out and a car comes right up on you. The speed limit on Tapp from 37 is much lower with no business or a neighborhood.
Walnut St northbound - opposite the 40mph sign for southbound traffic, there used to be a 45mph sign for northbound. This sign disappeared 20 or 25 years ago & has not been replaced.
Can a "No Left Turn" sign be placed at Union St when heading south at the 3rd street intersection? Drivers constantly try to turn left there, impeding traffic and causing dangerous situations. The heavy 3rd street traffic makes it near impossible to turn left (East). Individuals will wait 10-15 minutes to turn or eventually give up. Drivers can be seen pulling in front of other drivers attempting to make their way in. Thank you and have a great day.
The intersection of Winslow Road and Allendale is unsafe. As a resident of Sherwood Oaks, weekly I witness people driving through the stop signs on Winslow Rd. or not obeying right of way. In addition, there is no safe way for pedestrians to cross Winslow from Allendale to the multi-use trail that is on the North side of Winslow (leading to the Winslow Sports Park and YMCA). This is a very wide intersection and it is not one that motorists easily see pedestrians because of the width. A flashing light, a pedestrian crossing sign, or pedestrian crossing painted stripes on the roadway would help. Sherwood Oaks and neighboring areas have many walkers who use the crossing and it is not safe to do so. In particular for children who cross the street to the park on foot or bike.
This intersection has become more and more dangerous in the last few years. I work at Curry Buick in the sales department and I have seen many near misses. Any vehicle traveling east on Buick-Cadillac Blvd and approaching the intersection at Auto Mall Road is somewhat hidden due to the fact that the road is curved behind the cars parked in the vicinity. I would suggest either painted curbs to open up the sight lines or even a 3 way stop. I hate that we have to keep stopping the traffic in order to control, but this area has become more and more a concern.
