Smith Rd, Between E Third and Moore's Pike
- Case Date:
- 7/28/2021
Smith Rd often has folks speeding between E Third and Moore's Pike. There are no stop signs and no traffic monitoring... and too many folks just whiz along.
It can be dangerous checking the mailbox or crossing the road and animals crossing the road are in peril.
Need traffic monitoring and better placement of speed limit signage (the sign near the Lutheran Church is not nicely visible/not effectively placed....and it is the only one). The intersection at Smith and 3rd is horrendous. It is very difficult making a left from Smith to E 3rd and cars behind grow impatient. Thank you.

I live off of Smith Rd and travel the road multiple times a day. I am almost in an accident every time I’m at this intersection. Vehicles that are crossing Smith Rd are constantly going around vehicles trying to turn from Smith Rd onto 3rd St, as if there is a turn lane. I have spent an entire green light attempting to turn onto 3rd St, unable to do so because of this issue. Traffic is frequently backed up. If you do not pull into the intersection while trying to turn onto 3rd St, vehicles crossing Smith Rd display angry gestures and honking because they cannot cross while you are unable to turn. Turn lanes and turn arrows need to be implemented here.

I think the new construction on Sare Road is making the road very narrow, maybe even narrower than the walking path being put in. Does the new, narrowed road meet the width requirements of the Master Thoroughfare Plan? It seems like it is not wide enough, and should be checked. Thank you.

The multiuse path on the west side of Sare Rd from Rogers to David has numerous locations where the vegetation blocks the complete use of the path. The problem is most severe at the south end but there are other places up to Moore's Pike with similar issues.

Sidewalks on west side of Sare Rd are becoming very challenging to use. Trees and bushes have encroached the point of having to step of sidewalk. In other areas the width has been reduced to half.

Each of the 4 corners has a button for the walk signal in each direction EXCEPT for the NE corner, which has only one. That should have 2 as well.

Where Sowder Square meets Allendale Drive in Sherwood Oaks you cannot see traffic coming from the right. Almost everyone on Sowder Square has accidentally pulled out in front of traffic because they can't see traffic coming. The large bush needs to be removed before there is an accident and somebody gets hurt. Can you please take a look at this issue for the residents on Sowder Square. Thank you!
