Traffic PLUS

Drivers disregarding red light at corner of 2nd and Monmouth. Driving straight through the red light ostensibly because the light 20 yards further at Newark Ave stays green longer to allow traffic in box to clear. Police presence and study is required ASAP as drivers run red against pedestrians almost every time. This is a dangerous situation as this is a major crossing for children walking to PS5 and other schools/daycares nearby.

Vehicles come out of housing complex at 160 Lafayette at a high rate of speed. And it is very dangerous for people crossing back and forth from park

Sidewalk on marin blvd between observer highway and 18th street on the western side are too tight.
There are often car park on the sidewalk forcing pedestrians to walk on the main road.
Signage on the sidewalk has been hit by bus trying to make a turn from observer highway going southbound on Marin blvd.

This intersection has 3 schools nearby but no pedestrian signals.

There are poles on each of the four corners that can be used to mount pedestrian signals.

The additional wires needed may already exist. If not, additional wires could be pulled through the existing underground conduits.

This street which is nameless requires a lot of attention. Last night (6/28/22) someone was hit by a car. Fortunately, no major injury.

There are no "Crosswalk" signs or paints.
There are no "Do not Enter" Cars exiting are illegally turning right into a one-way.

Need a Crosswalk, Do Not Enter, Crossing sigh, Stop sign. An accident is waiting to happen and not to mention there's a school 200 feet away

Need to impose elements 1-5

The traffic light on Washington at the Light Rail lasts much too long even when no train is coming. It's a single lane due to construction and cars and buses will then be stuck in the middle of the intersection of Washington, 2nd street, and Greene. It becomes a serious problem when fire trucks need to hurry forward. Because of the red light, no one moves even when the fire trucks use their sirens. And there's no possibility of moving aside to let the fire trucks or emergency vehicles to more forward. Please consider shortening the time the red light stops traffic.

This intersection has poor visibility and could use a multi direction stop sign A stop sign might also reduce speeding/cut thrus on New York Ave

intersection of lembeck and romar needs better protection. this intersection is blocked by cars and pedestrians cannot cross. plus no enforcement of parking creates near misses and noise from horns.

I am requesting a traffic light light placed on the corner of Garfield and Cator. There have been numerous auto accidents from speeding and drunk driving resulting in thousands of dollars in damage to parked cars owned by residents in this neighborhood. We are hoping for an expedited process because this is a safety concern. Parked cars are forced onto the sidewalks when an accident occur and could potentially be fatal to innocent pedestrians. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

What can be done about pedestrian safety on the streets bordering Washington Park?

I’ve almost been run over by reckless drivers multiple occasions while using the crosswalks on North Street at Central Ave and Cambridge Ave. I fear my toddler and and I will actually be killed one of these days.

Cars do not slow down when turning left from Central onto North Street, and they do not bother to look for pedestrians in the crosswalk.

The stop sign at the intersection of Cambridge Ave and North St is not very visible due to tree branches and the way building shadows fall during the day. If a car DOES happen to come to a full stop, it will then have to pull far into the intersection to see oncoming traffic because of the parked cars on North St blocking the view. So you have drivers still looking left while they are turning right, and thus they are not always watching for pedestrians in that crosswalk.

These kinds of incidents happen in the crosswalks on Paterson Plank Rd as well. Cars turning right often roll through the stoplight at Webster Ave, and the crosswalk is offset in such a way that makes it difficult for cars to see and pedestrians to gauge this oncoming traffic from behind.

The length of the pedestrian crossing signal in the middle of Washington Park is extremely short, despite the crosswalk being used by caregivers with young children and strollers heading to the playground — give them more time to safely cross the street!

Crosswalks on South Street School Zone. South/Hancock & South/Sherman crosswalks are being blocked by parents cars.
