Traffic PLUS

it is impossible to cross here in the morning. No one stops at the RFP as cars and large trucks race through the intersection to get to the light. There are also a ton of cars turning onto and off of Skillman due to the massive parking garage for the building on JFK, the parking lot for the school, and the large surface lot at the dead end of skillman. The city needs to install a four way stop here like they did at liberty.

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)

This is an accessible pedestrian signal (APS) pushbutton for the visually impaired.
It does NOT control the pedestrian walk signals. Those are on "pedestrian recall" and operate during every traffic cycle.
There are 6 APS units at this intersection and NONE work properly.
Typically, a visually-impaired pedestrian touches the raised arrow and hears a "WAIT". When the WALK signal comes on, the APS vibrates AND a voice says "WALK signal is on to cross .."
When the WALK phase ends, the voice counts down the remaining seconds in the DON'T WALK phase.
The intersection one block away at Central & Newark works properly.
This intersection at Central & Hoboken needs to be programmed the same way.

Need a stop sign or stop light installed at this intersection urgently. It has been 3 years without a solution. Escalation is now warranted. This is a dangerous intersection, no stop sign or stop light for pedestrians. Cars speed through it. Many residents have had close calls.

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.

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

The traffic light at Belmont and Monticello needs to a sign that says “No turn on red during school hours (8-9am, 2-3pm).” Last week in the morning, the crossing guard was crossing a group of kids and someone turned into the crosswalk while the kids and crossing guard were in the middle of the street. This is not uncommon and it’s only a matter of time before someone gets hit by a car. Also requesting traffic enforcement for the morning hours for the first few weeks after the sign is installed.

Can the city remove the turning lane here and widen the sidewalks and add parking? It is impossible to safely use a sidewalk on this street because it is so narrow and lots of cars are parked on the sidewalk. everyone is always complaining about parking. get rid of the turning lane. It’s dangerous for pedestrians anyway. I noticed this frequently on Journal Square that the sidewalks are super narrow and there’s a turning lane. It seems like we are prioritizing cars over the safety of pedestrians in this entire ward. Sidewalks aren't wide enough for two people to pass each other without one walking into the street.

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.

This is the corner of a school and car continue to run the stop sign, or back up into a closed street (closed on the side of Franklin because of the school) . I have personally almost been hit with my child 4 times this year. This morning the woman didnt even stop we ran out of the way.
This is insane and has only become more of the norm here.
