Street sign down in yard
Street sign down in yard
One of the stop signs is missing at the corner of Clark and 7th. It is the sign on the east side of the intersection that stops westbound traffic. The other 3 signs appear to be intact.
There is a Red pickup truck sitting at the South West side of the intersection at Grimes and Henderson. The truck has been there for some time. The truck is sitting so close to the intersection that a vehicle driving eastbound towards the intersection cannot very easily make a right hand turn. This is especially difficult when a school bus is in that situation. I am not sure you can do anything to have the vehicle moved; but if it moved back just about 10 or more feet, the issue would disappear. Thank you.
12th St east of Indiana. Knocked down speed limit 25 sign. See photo. Thanks.
Cottage Grove and 11th. Street sign is askew.
Ms. Odell was driving on South Patterson before the Prospect intersection at 7am on 11/16. A car was driving towards her in her lane, so she veered into the other lane to prevent being hit. She said that there is a concrete block in the middle of the road that is lightly painted with yellow paint, but has no reflective quality. She was unable to see the block due to the lack of reflection and this caused major damage to her vehicle. She is requesting that the block be painted with reflective paint to prevent others from doing this as well.
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.
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!!!
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.
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!
