Traffic PLUS

Police and public do not obey stop signs. We are two blocks away from the police department and police do not observe stop signs. They do not enforce people running stop signs, and when approached about this issue, make excuses that “the stop signs are new”.

This is not an isolated issue. This is seemingly accepted norm for this neighborhood and Jersey City in general.
Stand on any street corner in this block for fifteen minutes, and it becomes apparent.

Please, we need a pedestrian safety study and/or consequences for public drivers and for police not enforcing driving laws and exacerbating the issue by ignoring street signs themselves.

This is for Jersey City Heights in general, but Griffith to Franklin/Sherman to Central Avenue, specifically.

Crash at this intersection this morning We need a stop sign and curb bump outs at this intersection It is difficult and dangerous to cross Congress St as both a pedestrian and driver The crosswalks are frequently blocked, esp in the morning during school drop off (I get the need for a quick drop off in the morning but it comes at the expense of many others safety This mornings crash looked like it involved kids going to school)

Hello, thank you for putting a stop sign at this intersection, it was much needed. But there is no line painted on the street with the word "stop" as the stop sign is new and slightly out of sight when trucks are parked there so some people are still driving through. Thanks

A pedestrian was just hit at Hutton and Palisade and the driver fled. Please put a permanent pedestrian crossing sign, with lights. They are so many daycares along palisade, this is very serious for families here.

All of the corners at this intersection were redone but with no safety improvements. Loading zones and curb extensions are needed to protect the pedestrian right of way. Also note that this is a school corner (PS5) at pickup time.

There is constant traffic backing up on Van Winkle as well as St Paul's Avenue (between Tonnelle Ave and JFK) while the commercial corridor and designated truck route of Newark Ave remains empty or has far less volume even during peak rush hours Van Winkle and St Paul's (both residential streets) continue to be cut-thrus for impatient and aggressive drivers, creating unsafe conditions for pedestrians while contributing to the excessive noise and air pollution.

The constituents are claiming that there is a wide distance on Palisades Ave From Beacon Ave to Ferry Street with no traffic device this is very dangerous for the constituents trying to cross the street traffic don't stop.

The stretch from Webster to Central on Congress St has no stop signs As a result, many drivers speed up Congress St (past a day care, and past crossings that access two schools and a major park) We need to control traffic on Congress St and make it safer for residents There are also crashes at these intersections frequently because it's difficult to see oncoming traffic if you need to cross Cambridge, Sherman or Hancock

Cars consistently run this stop sign in both directions, it's incredibly dangerous in the morning for pedestrians.

Baldwin Ave at Hopkins Ave sees near constant parking in the crosswalk and on sidewalks. We need curb extensions and bollards to keep drivers from blocking pedestrian right of way and sightlines.

The cars turning left off of 6th onto Marin do not stop for pedestrians. I am a pregnant woman who needs more time to cross and cars are barely missing me as I pass, not even stopping to let me walk. This is an incredibly busy intersection as cars go to Holland Tunnel. There needs to be a walk sign for crossing Marin WITHOUT a left turn sign off of 6th. It’s currently unsafe for pedestrians
