Traffic PLUS

The Monmouth Ave redesign added three parking spots instead of adding a loading zone. Now delivery trucks just double park blocking the right lane. This causes congestion and tons of noise from honking as cars make an unexpected lane merge from 2 down to 1.

Make those spots a loading zone.

This is a request for adding a leading pedestrian interval (LPI) on the intersection of palisades and south in all directions. I cross this street with my daughter in a stroller multiple times a day. I've seen many close calls with cars rushing to make turns onto palisades when the light turns green.

While last year, the walk signals were changed to illuminate along with the car signals (as opposed to having to press the button), cars still try to turn on green into the crosswalk before pedestrians start crossing. Having 3-6 seconds of time where only the walk signal is illuminated before cars have a green will allow pedestrians to start crossing safely and force cars to wait, creating a safer intersection for all of us.

Thank you!

This area is very dangerous, should be made into a larger pedestrian plaza- the traffic traveling westbound on Second Street is extremely fast and dangerous for children.

Request for bollards to separate the road from the bike lane/sidewalk at Washington Blvd in front of Chipotle.

There is a constant presence of vehicles stopped or parked in the crosswalk/bike lane here. This is dangerous as it forces bikes into the street or the sidewalk, reduces visibility of pedestrians for cars, and increases points of conflict for cars, pedestrians, and bikes.

There should be a physical barrier to prevent these cars from parking here while still allowing pedestrians through, since there doesn't seem to be any enforcement of parking rules here.

Resident states that vehicles always speed down this block and do not care for the pedestrians in the crosswalk.

Dangerous intersection - could we implement a stop sign?

Could we have an office at this intersection on weekday mornings? I nearly got hit crossing at the crosswalk this morning by someone running the stop sign. This is not the first time I've nearly been hit, and every single morning on my commute I see multiple people run these stop signs while people are trying to cross with young kids on their way to school. People speed down Arlington despite the speed bumps and it's getting out of hand!!

Requesting a speed bump or a stop sign at this pedestrian heavy crossings on Van Winkle and Skillman Ave. Cars speed up this hill just to beat the signal and reach JFK Blvd. There have been multiple instances of pedestrians almost getting run over.

I’m writing as a pedestrian concerned about the safety at the intersection of Palisade Avenue and Bowers Street in Jersey City.

This morning, I experienced a close call where a car turning on green nearly hit me while I was crossing legally with the “Walk” signal.

I’ve observed that this intersection does not currently have a Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI), and cars often turn without yielding to pedestrians.

I respectfully request that the city consider adding an LPI phase to improve safety at this crossing.

Thank you for your attention and efforts to make Jersey City safer for all road users.

Best regards,
Concerned resident

This intersection is especially dangerous in both directions for multiple reasons. We've come dangerously close to hitting pedestrians and being sideswiped by other drivers on numerous occasions. The pedestrian crossing from the mall to the PATH is on a diagonal, meaning that pedestrians cross along a very long area but with little respite in the median due to the large exhaust tower and tall grasses in the way; they're often walking along the curb or running out quickly in front of drivers since they have nowhere else to go. What's more is that there are cars stopping suddenly on both sides of the street to pickup/drop off passengers. Finally, the exhaust tower and grasses are super dangerous for driver sight lines when driving south, and for pedestrians attempting to cross from the median toward the mall. I go through this intersection very slowly and still have to frequently slam on my brakes or veer quickly into the other lane.

The ped walk here is ignored completely. Need to have the flashing ped walk indicator like there is on 6th now
