Multiple times I have witnessed near miss and possibly fatal accidents at the 2851 E Longview side parking on Pete Ellis. The angled parking is “back in only.” Traffic coming from the north on Pete Ellis doesn’t realize that people want to back-in. Traffic from the south who try to park have to make a 3 point turn. The road is too busy for this.
I appreciate that you are going to analyze this corner based on the potential Sudbury development. BUT, please change this intersection regardless of what happens with that development. It is already a dangerous intersection with the current traffic flow. There are near misses all day long. The accidents that happen are always bad, not just small fender benders. Allen is too steep. It makes visibility bad and makes it difficult to get traction up the hill and enter Bloomfield safely.
Dr. Lewis got hit here last year and someone else almost got hit today. No one knows how to deal with this intersection because it backs up so much and people get emotional which is not a good way to drive. It would be great if a light or roundabout could be put in to protect the pedestrians from getting hit by cars. Sorry to make such recommendations because I know I am not a traffic expert, but this T has been an issue for far too long.
The curb at the southwest corner of this intersection juts out quite far into the lane. It is red and lower than the rest of the sidewalk. When there are cars waiting at the light, a sharp turn is necessary to avoid hitting them or this pointy curb, and it feels unsettling to swing out so far to the left where traffic is oncoming. On the southwest side of this intersection, the curb juts out into the lane. It's red and lower than sidewalk level. Turning right onto Patterson requires a driver to swing out to the left, close to oncoming traffic, as otherwise it's very hard to stay clear of the cars waiting on Patterson and this curb. Could the curb be changed, or the stop line for Patterson be moved several feet back?
W. 1st seems to be open through Walnut as of 12/23/24. There are no speed limit signs anymore. It used to be 20 I believe. People are zooming by excite that it’s open but it’s dangerous for animals and pedestrians. Also does no parking still apply? Speed Signage and oversight needed asap.
When there is medium to heavy traffic, this 4-way stop sign between Jonathan Dr and Alexander Dr becomes dangerous. Drivers lose their patience and take off when it is not their turn, resulting in near accidents and testy confrontations. Additionally, the traffic begins to back up into the more busy streets (3rd St and the shopping plaza), causing further delays. We need a roundabout at this 4-way stop to alleviate traffic and dangerous interactions. This would also provide better crossing infrastructure for pedestrians who use the sidewalk. Thank you!
It is unclear who has the right of way between southeast bound and northwest bound at the intersection of Fountain and 11th. Southeast bound cars either turn left or continue straight, but there is no yield for either option. A northwest bound car could collide with a southeast bound car turning left onto 11th and there is no signage preventing this.
The road visibility on this corner is not good. In situations when the road floods or a lot of snow it is very hard to see where the edge of the road is on the corner. This is the second car in a flooded ditch I have seen recently. Some kind of marker would be helpful.
2nd time this week: While traveling west on west first, there is nobody directing traffic around the work being completed for Hopewell neighborhood. One lane of traffic is being blocked, without assistance directing traffic.
