Can the traffic signal at the corner of 4th and Newark be adjusted for the cars going East? Many cars end up in the intersection when the light is green for Brunswick? Extremely dangerous situation for pedestrians trying to cross this awkward intersection.

Cars are not respecting pedestrians between Graham St and Central Ave. Can a stop sign be placed at this location? People are double parking at the cross walk and it’s difficult for pedestrians to be seen and walk safely.

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

There is no proper cross walk here. This is a major issue. Cars are parked all the time, blocking the one crosswalk we have. There are two schools in this area. There needs to be a proper crosswalk to cross over to WSA

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.

Resident called to inform us that on Laidlaw ave between Baldwin ave and Palisade ave care are speeding . He said cats are getting hit by cars and fears for pedestrian safety.

At 7:30pm the sun blinds drivers when they are waiting at this stop light. Is there any way to place a signal on the metal post to the right as well so drivers aren’t blinded? It’s a little dangerous at the moment. Anything would help. Thank you.

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.

USPS trucks enter and exit this driveway off of and onto Montgomery. Visibility of trucks exiting onto Montgomery when walking west on the sidewalk is nearly zero for pedestrians. Additionally, visibility for egressing trucks is equally as bad and observed trucks typically do not stop before moving over the sidewalk. This is a safety concern for pedestrians and USPS employees alike. There should be some additional signaling (e.g. flashing lights, sound emitting device, etc…) to indicate that a truck is exiting. This area has high foot traffic including small children and pets. This should be addressed before someone gets seriously injured or worse.

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.

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.
