Get rid of the right hand turn lane on Brigdeport Ave. Archived

293-299 State Highway 714 Shelton, CT 06484, USA - Shelton

The recently revised traffic pattern at the traffic light located on Bridgeport Avenue (state hwy. 714), in Shelton, at the exit 13 interchange has really messed up traffic. The traffic pattern on the northbound side of Bridgeport Avenue, at the Route 8 on ramp, was revised from two lanes of through traffic traveling northbound to one lane of through traffic and a turn only lane onto Route 8. By reducing the number of through traffic lanes by half it has severely affected the traffic flow at this location. Now with only one lane of through travel it has created a bottle neck that has cars backup for almost a half a mile. It has also created a safety concern on the old Bridgeport Avenue access road, which parallels this main road, and the commuter lot there because a lot of cars use them to bypass the light and the backup.

  What time of day do people start cutting through on
  Old Bridgeport Road (the street running from Ryan Honda to the Wiffle Ball plant)? Is this something that happens for 5 minutes a day when everyone wants to get onto route 8 at the same time? Are the people cutting through on Old Bridgeport people wanting to go down into Shelton?
  
  The current configuration has been like this for a LONG time - the right turn only arrow on the ground is almost completely worn away.
  
  The description is a bit confusing. At the spot on the map, the Northbound right lane of Bridgeport Ave turns onto Southbound Route 8, and the left lane moves to the right in a single lane to accommodate the dedicated left turn only lane for Southbound traffic which is very necessary given the southbound volume and the congestion in the area (otherwise you get complete gridlock).... the traffic then splits into a right turn lane to cross the bridge at Constution (only some of which will be entering Route 8) - and a straight only ("through") lane to go down the hill to downtown Shelton.

Traffic Light needed Open

180 Center St Shelton, CT 06484 - Shelton

Oak Ave, Perry Hill Rd., Center St., and Bridgeport Ave., all converge at one intersection. Many times cars coming down Perry Hill Rd., ignore the stop sign and blow through the intersection. Many times I am waiting at the stop sign to turn onto Briegeport ave., and when I can finally turn safely, a vehile will come down Perry Hill Rd., and cut me off. I have been almost hit several times. A traffice light, with no turn on red, needs to be placed at that intersecion,

  The basic rules of this intersection:
  1. Whoever enters first goes first. Unless you are making a left onto Bridgeport Ave from Perry Hill; then the car turning right onto Bridgeport Ave from Oak may go if it is clear. No left turns should be allowed from Oak Ave - it is too hard to negotiate that situation, and there are other ways to get to that part of town from that neighborhood.
  2. Cars from Bridgeport Ave always have the right of way - they have no stop sign.
  3. Be polite, but firm. Don't hesitate - if it is your turn, go. Hesitation frustrates other drivers and can lead them to be more aggressive than necessary.
  
  Are there many accidents at that intersection? I don't think I have ever seen any.

  Very True Mr. Ed. However, many times I am stopped at Oak Ave to make a right onto Bridgeport Ave. and with no cars coming either from Center St. or Bridgeport Ave. I attempt to take a right onto Bridgeport Ave., then a vehicle comes down Perry Hill Rd. and DOES NOT STOP. They don't even hesitate. A number of time I was almost hit, by these "entitled" drivers. Over the years that have been many accidents and many near accidents, because people feel they don;t have to obey the stop sign.

traffic lights not changing Open

Old Stratford Rd@Route 8 Shelton, CT 06484, USA - Shelton

The traffic lights @ exit 12 and old stratford rd do not cycle as needed. When traveling on Old Stratford Rd, the traffic light will be green for ramp traffic even when there is no one on the ramp(s) This is especially noticeble and quite annoying in the early morning hours-there is no ramp traffic at all and you need to wait for the light to change. There appears to be trip sensors at all locations, however there is still an issue. I have traveled this area for several years, several times a day which is why I am familiar with the way they used to work vs. the way they now work. I have made SEVERAL phone calls regarding this but still the same results.

  The worst part is, I'd swear it's a reverse sensor because I get this light red...every...single...time, when it's dark out.

  I've found in many places the sensors to detect me are closer to the intersection than where I tend to stop. Try inching closer to the intersection. Once it "sees" you, the lights tend to change after a few seconds. I suspect some are tuned to look for more than one car (or one car + x seconds) before they change.

  I agree w/ Jim. I get out of work at 2:00am, I'm the only car on the road and have to sit at this light for 2 minutes while it gives the ramps an excessively long green. These lights should be BLINKING at this hour, as should many others in the area.

  Assumption: we're talking about heading East and turning North onto Route 8.
  
  Blinking would be problematic - there are two left turn lanes - in blinking mode you would have two blinking reds on the left and a blinking yellow on the right lane. That would be quite confusing, especially with side by side turners and conflicting traffic.
  
  The alternative would be to make west bound have a blinking red and all east lanes have blinking yellow, giving a left turn preference over someone going straight.
  
  The only thing that wouldn't create confusion would be a four way stop.
  
  People handle uncontrolled intersections surprisingly well. I am not a traffic engineer but think overuse of stop signs and lights not only cost time but make driving more unsafe. People rely on the signals and stop being vigilant looking for unexpected danger. The light at Walmarr near the Derby Orange border goes to blinking during the day on a weekday every once in a while and the world doesn't come to an end. People get alert and cautious and slow down, and people work it out.
  
  I still agree they need to look at the sensors and make sure it isn't using daytime assumptions in the middle of the night.

Need a light(NOT a flashing light) Open

Isinglass Rd shelton, ct - Shelton

Unfortunately, a tragedy brings up this long time issue. Rt 108 & Isinglass Rd needs a traffic light. A flashing sign indicating a dangerous intersection was added a few years back, but what kind of sense does it make when there is only one in the northbound direction? A flashing light will be ignored as will a traffic light that flashes after hours. It needs to be a 24hr functioning light.

  What tragedy? - need more information before I could support a 24 hr traffic signal. The marker on this item appears to be in a creek bed. What is it about this intersection that makes it more dangerous than any other minor side road intersecting a state highway? Is it the angle? Is there a limited line of sight?

  This is at the intersection of Rt108 and Isinglass rd, which there was a fatalaty a few months ago. There are several factors- there is a crest in the road when traveling south on 108 which affects the veiw of intersecting traffic, when traveling north there is a curve which also prevents your veiw, Isinglass Rd is intersecting Rt 108 at an angle and there is another road(Cardinal) which sort of makes it a "5 way". As I said, why would there be a flashing sign indicating a dangerous intersection in one direction(north) and not one in the southbound direction? That makes absolutley no sense. Many locals say they look both ways the best they can, hit the gas, and hope they make it through ok.

  The DOT has refused to install a light here, OK fine. But I love how the Shelton Police Chief did not ask to install a 4 way stop sign, nor does he remember if it even came up in a one hour talk with the DOT. He cannot even remember the name of the person he spoke with at the DOT...great work! He told the Alderman he did not ask the DOT about the stop sign becuase no one asked for one, they asked for a light. "They specifcally asked for a traffic light. I don't remember anyone asking for a traffic sign"
  So becuase no one asked for a "sign" they just push it aside and move on. Since when do they listen to us anyway? Why don't they say, Ok, maybe a light is not appropriate, but let's look at some other options, flashing lights, signs, regrading/straightening the road, the list goes on. But to say NO light and end it looks pretty bad on both the Police Dept and the DOT.

Traffic Light Open

River Road And Long Hill Avenue Shelton, CT - Shelton

River Road is a speedway and very congested by the gas station. Peak times is a nightmare and I've seen numerous close calls between cars. Need to regulate the flow of traffic and slow it down for safety reasons.

  Listen up kids, 3 weeks ago a lady was involved with an accident there and I watched the cop give her a DUI check in broad daylight in the Cumberland farms parking lot, I had to laugh at the cop becasue he looked like a total buffoon using her to send a message out to the passing cars. Everybody knows why she got into an accident there it is because that Longhill ave rt 110 is super dangerous and almost impossible at times to get on WITHOUT A TRAFFIC LIGHT.
  
  There have been endless accidents at that very spot and deaths as well.
  
  It is the state of CT that will not put a light there. I had face to face talks with retired Rep Doc Gunther and for years he tired convincing the state to put a light there but to be always shutdown becasue the state claims there are too many lights from Sikorsky's to Cumberland Farms.
  
  Check this out the state actually countes that old blinking light that is just a few feet before AJ's garage coming from Sikorsky.
  
  Now pushing back towards Sikorsky about 300 feet before Warner Hill road the state also counts that light that is barely ever used only when a car or two or a truck is coming out of that outside parking lot at Sikorsky.
  
  Then they count the Warner Hill road light.. Then they count the light at the far end of Sikorsky just before merrit parkway entrance.
  
  So you see ladies and gents there is an error by the state here that has caused death and injury and major accidents.. The state is counting 2 lights that do nothing at all. The town of Shelton has been plagued by very stupid police chiefs and ignorant mayors who cannot relate this information to the proper state officials..
  
  SO MORE DEATH will come at the long hill ave rt 110 intersection until a light is put up there and SLOW CARS DOWN on rt 110. And dont forget to stir into the danger stew soup that the sports center is now filled with thousands of kids and customers daily.

  I agree!
  
  I'd be curious to know the statistics of fender benders and major car fatalities over the last 10 years in that area.
  
  Maybe a traffic study for the volume of cars needs to be conducted by the city/state.
  
  I hope more area residents voice their opinions and maybe contact local/state officials.

  OMG! A successful business that attracts lots of customers and an employer that provides income to its employees and keeps real estate prices from collapsing. This must be stopped!
  
  If another bridge was built across the river in between Derby and Sikorsky (one that trucks could use), how much clearance would it require for boat traffic? (assuming it wasn't a draw bridge)
