    The traffic light coming out of CVS Vinnan Square allows only 2 cars to exit. I was car 3 and ended up going through a light that turned red on me.
  • Essex St @ Stetson Ave Swampscott, MA 01907, USA - Swampscott

    After being fixed for all of one week, the crossing light at the corner of Stetson and Essex is *again* broken. Will it take a traffic fatality of an elderly person, kid on a bike, or mother pushing a stroller with her child to compel the town to implement a permanent fix that involves complete replacement of the light infrastructure? this is one of the busiest and most dangerous intersections in the town. how much time and money does it take to prioritize fixing this problem when there is precedent all over town to replace crossing lights - particularly on Humphrey Street and the wealthier sections of town. This is not a new problem!

    Please do not just forward this message to the "contractor that services Swampscott's traffic lights because clearly this cover for "not my problem". What person at the DPW is responsible and when will there be action taken?

    If Swampscott would like to continue shirking responsibility, please name contact information for a state or other agency who can better assist us.

    Traffic light still not working properly. School has started and there is an elementary bus stop on Essex. Very dangerous intersection. Can the town at least provide a crossing guard?

    The three lights at the intersection near Columbia Ave and Essex Street are all broken and it’s a giant yield because the lights just flash red all the time. It also causes the plates in the driveways on that street not to work due to all the lights not working properly.

    the walk light does not work at the intersection of Essex and Stetson
  • 80 Blodgett Avenue Swampscott, MA, 01907, USA - Swampscott
    The street light has been out for over a week on that corner.
  • Atlantic Ave & Humphrey St Swampscott, MA, 01907, USA - Swampscott
    I was crossing the street and the car did not stop until last minute. The driver apologized and said he could not see the light (which had changed) because it was covered by trees. I agreed the leaves block I the light on the right side of the street when you’re driving towards Swampscott from Marblehead.

    Light sequencing always goes to pedestrian. Was this done intentionally for lights near schools? Seems like a built in sequence to always go to pedestrian walk between traffic rotation. I think this is part of the recent major backups on Essex street during evening rush hour.

    Someone else recently submitted a similar issue with Ellis, but I have noticed this one as well:
    "The sequence at this light of off, and needs a review. After Route 1A has a red light, Ellis Rd should then have the green light. Instead, the pedestrian walk light is on, every time."

    The light across the high school is not working. It's a very dangerous road and many kids have to cross it multiple times per day
  • 306 Essex Street Swampscott, MA, 01907, USA - Swampscott
    The light at the pedestrian crossing is not working again and has not been working for some time. Thanks
  • Burrill St & Essex St Swampscott, Massachusetts, 01907 - Swampscott
    The walk signal is only 4 seconds long, which is not enough time to see if a speeding car is going to stop or not, nor is it enough time to cross the street. This heavily used crosswalk for people going to the senior center, high school, and train station needs more than 4 seconds please.

    Crosswalk out again, ongoing issue
