There is a No Large Trucks/ commercial vehicles sign posted at this location yet semi trucks for Secretly Canadian consistently use this street for their commercial traffic and have been damaging trees on other street.
Vehicles consistently driving at high rates of speed on Winslow Rd. The detour on Rhorer Rd has exasperated this problem. It would behoove our community if there were some traffic calming measures implemented here, or actual enforcement of posted speed limits by BPD.
Cars can drive faster than the speed limit over the traffic calming humps that were installed. Witness many vehicles increased speed over humps.
Homeowner continues to park work truck in front of fire hydrant when not at work. Two vehicles park the wrong direction on the street.
Repeated concern of hearing drag racing late at night between the hours of 9pm-1am. Have heard more than 5 times this summer. Don’t know the exact location but can hear it from inside my home. Has to be close by.
Drivers disregard (Blow through) the 4 way stop sign causing a safety hazard for pedestrians, bicyclists and small children playing in the area. This is a on going issue that needs to be addressed.
When College was reopened, the traffic signal was not calibrated properly for east-west traffic and has caused MANY near collisions. Here's the issue: After southbound traffic gets a red, the westbound signal turns green 1.5 seconds before the eastbound signal. This is because the eastbound signal is timed with a Leading Pedestrian signal, but the westbound signal isn't. The westbound signal turns green as soon as the east-west crosswalk light turns white. This isn't a huge issue, since the south crosswalk doesn't get used right now due to construction. However, this 1.5 second lead has caused many near collisions between south-turning drivers and eastbound drivers. South-turning drivers get a green, and the eastbound drivers don't start moving (because their light is still red). So south-turning drivers begin their turn, believing the eastbound drivers are letting them go. Then eastbound drivers get their green and enter the intersection while southbound drivers are turning into it. I thought south-turning drivers were just running a red until the third near-collision. Then I walked to the intersection and timed the lights to figure out what was happening. POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS SOLUTIONS: 1) Program the westbound traffic light with the leading pedestrian interval 2) Remove the leading pedestrian interval for the eastbound light 3) Reinstate the protected left turn for westbound traffic (so they get the green arrow before eastbound traffic gets a green signal)
Why isn't the traffic signal at W. Kirkwood and Rogers St set to flashing red while Kirkwood is closed. A 3-way stop would be much better than a light going through it full cycle causing back-ups on Rogers.
Need street-surface traffic direction arrows painted in the 2 lanes of S. Clarizz heading north. I have seen people make the right-hand lane into a left-hand turn onto East 3rd St. Please see pic of suggested arrows. The yellow marks are the direction available besides a right turn. Tx!
Vehicles driving east on Grimes often stop in the middle of the road (rather than in their "lane") at the stop sign at Woodlawn. This makes it impossible to turn onto Grimes from Woodlawn until they have moved on, leading to difficult and unpredictable traffic situations. Would it be possible to put a center line here on Grimes, just for the intersection and the approach to it? To encourage drivers on Grimes to be in their lane when they stop at the intersection.
