  • Ellis Rd & Paradise Rd Swampscott, MA, 01907, USA - Swampscott
    Natalie, This issue has been intermittent for 2 years and is still not resolved. Who do we need to call at Mass DOT?
  • Burpee Rd & Essex St Town of Swampscott, MA, 01907, USA - Swampscott
    I recently noticed a traffic light was out at the intersection of Burpee and Essex, where one would turn right onto Burpee. Not sure if this has already been fixed but wanted to draw attention to it just in case. Thank you!
  • Essex St & Loring Ave Town of Swampscott, MA, 01907, USA - Swampscott
    I recently noticed a green traffic light out at the intersection of Loring Ave and Essex Street, where one can turn left into the Stop & Stop parking lot. Not sure if it has already been fixed but wanted to draw attention to it. Also, one of the green lights on the opposite side of the intersection is starting to go as well.
  • 525 Paradise Road Swampscott, MA, 01907, USA - Swampscott
    Can you get together with Salem and figure out how to make the traffic signals work at Vinnin Square?
  • 304 Essex Street Swampscott, MA, 01907, USA - Swampscott
    Pedestrian cross light does not work at the intersection by Stetson.
  • Ellis Rd & Paradise Rd Swampscott, MA, 01907, USA - Swampscott
    My understand is that the traffic lights to cross Paradise Road on Ellis are on a sensor so as not to activate unnecessarily. However, there is a regular call to change the lights, stopping Paradise Rd. traffic unnecessarily (i.e. when there isn’t traffic on Ellis wanting to cross Paradise)
  • 492–498 Vantage Terr Swampscott MA 01907, United States - Swampscott
    Light coming from the plaza is extremely short, can only get a couple cars through at a time. Traffic is backing way up into the plaza.
  • 01907 Swampscott, Massachusetts - Swampscott

    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."

  • 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.
  • 80 Blodgett Avenue Swampscott, MA, 01907, USA - Swampscott
    The street light has been out for over a week on that corner.
  • 253 Essex Street Swampscott, MA, 01907, USA - Swampscott
    the walk light does not work at the intersection of Essex and Stetson
  • Essex St Swampscott, Massachusetts, 01907 - Swampscott
    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.
