The intersection of E 10th St/SR 45 and Pete Ellis Drive is extremely dangerous for cars, cyclists, and pedestrians The stoplight needs a left turn signal for all four directions of travel, and a push-button activated walk signal. In addition, the two lanes of 10th Street need to be apportioned to a right straight/right turn lane, going both east and west, and a lefthand left turn lane.
1. Update the lanes on 10th street so that the right most lanes are the straight and turn right lanes and the inner lanes are turn left only lanes and 2. provide pedestrians with a crossing button as there are often persons who cross the street in order to use the bus stop at Fountain Park.
Hello, there is currently no safe way to cross 3rd street at Grant to get to the BT stop. There is no crosswalk at that intersection. I walked down to cross at Lincoln but after I crossed, the sidewalk is under construction and I had to walk on the street. Is there some kind of “temporary crosswalk” that can be installed at 3rd and grant? Traffic is crazy and dangerous right now. Thanks, -Bill
I reported this previously and I received a response that all signs are clearly marked (apparently not). The signs indicating "One Way" on the corner of E 6th and Grant, and for that matter, at any intersection on E 6th Street, are not sufficient. There need to be *large* signs indicating DO NOT ENTER to vehicles attempting to turn left onto E 6th from two-way roads that run perpendicular (i.e. Grant, Lincoln). The current signage is not sufficient. Please fix this before a pedestrian or a driver is seriously injured.
Corner of Dunn and 3rd street, need to place an additional "no turn on red sign" next to signal light. Many people turn right onto 3rd street from Dunn in front of on-coming traffic.
I think it would be beneficial to have signs that say "Cross traffic does not stop" at S. Dunn and E. Smith and the intersections of Henderson with 1st, University, and 2nd. I have almost been hit over 15 times in the past 4 months. Southbound S. Dunn and Northbound Henderson do not have stop signs, but the other cross street drivers assume we do and barrel ahead into the intersection without second thought. Is there a way to add these safety/cautionary signs? I am an extremely defensive and vigilant driver, which is the only reason I haven't been hit yet, but I am extremely nervous every time I drive on these streets, and I imagine others are as well. Please help!
If you're going to eliminate the left turn lanes on the westbound entrance to the Winslow/Walnut and eastbound entrance to the Winslow intersection until DECEMBER, then turn off the left turn green light! Just keep it red until the solid green turns on. Right now it's pointless. If the first car is going straight, then nobody can turn left anyway and those that want to turn left get angry that nobody is turning left! Additionally, I've seen people just start going straight when that left arrow turns on since it's a "green light" in their lane. So, you're just making it more confusing and difficult by keeping the left turn light as an option. Finally, it would have been great if you could have waited until Gordon Pike was open before putting another traffic impediment in on the south side. The traffic backups are terrible during peak hours.
There needs to be a left turn light when coming west on 10th and turning south onto Pete Ellis. Traffic gets backed up and some cars try to go around when others are using the right turn lane (which is useless)
I believe that the street markings for the N. Pete Ellis Dr. and E. 10th St. stoplight should be changed. Often, drivers use the "turn right only" lane to go forward through the intersection because a car which intends to turn left has held up traffic. This can create a dangerous situation where cars disregard the street markings in order to get through the intersection in a timely manner. I suggest that the outside most lanes of E. 10th St. be marked as the straight and right turn lanes and the inside lanes become left turn-only lanes. Secondly, because of the amount of pedestrian traffic around Fountain Park (because of the Bus Stop) I suggest that there be Pedestrian crossing buttons installed at the intersection. If you have any questions or need clarification, please don't hesitate to email or call me. - Adam
