  • Bramhall Ave & Halladay St Jersey City, NJ, 07304, USA - Bergen-Lafayette
    Bramhall turned to a 1 Way Street due to excessive traffic and narrow street
  • Hutton St & Sherman Ave Jersey City, NJ, 07307, USA - The Heights
    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.
  • Griffith St & Webster Ave Jersey City, NJ, 07307, USA - The Heights
    This intersection has no pedestrian walk signal
  • Astor Pl & Crescent Ave Jersey City, NJ, 07304, USA - McGinley Square
    A constituent called to report that this intersection has become a danger zone for pedestrians as cars speed through the street, even with speed humps already placed.
  • North St & Sherman Ave Jersey City, NJ, 07307, USA - The Heights
    With the new stop signs on Congress St, North St by Washington Park has become the main thoroughfare for traffic and no one stops for pedestrians. This can be especially unsafe crossing into the park which many people do. Requesting stop signs along North st intersections to alleviate this concern and ideally shuffle traffic back to Congress st.
  • Harborside Pl & Hudson St Jersey City, NJ, 07311, USA - The Waterfront

    The intersection at Harborside Pl and Hudson St has traffic lights that seem to be a legacy of the previous street design, when cars could cross the train track here. A 3-way stop would be better for both pedestrians and drivers.

    Cars often have to wait for a long time at the red light here, even with no one around, leading to:
    - lost time with no safety benefit
    - more exhaust, noise, light pollution
    - making drivers who drive here frequently more likely to turn illegally on the red light, leading to danger if they didn't see someone

    Pedestrians have a higher risk here because they don't have the right of way by default, like they do with stop signs. However, there's little car traffic, so people generally will not wait for the light and will cross against the light, leading to risk if there does happen to be a car coming with a green light.

    With the light sequence, (I think) the light can be green for cars to turn left onto Harborside at the same time as cars can go straight on Hudson. This is more likely to result in a head-on collision than just having a stop sign would be.

    In summary, the lights here make traversing this intersection more dangerous and slower for pedestrians and cars alike, and would be better replaced with a 3-way stop

  • 2nd St & Newark Ave Jersey City, NJ, 07302, USA - Downtown
    Extremely dangerous intersection. The short block is causing drivers to make a dangerous start turn and speed on 2nd Street when coming off Newark Ave. This is a disaster in the making. Please address soon!
  • Bleecker St & John F Kennedy Blvd Jersey City, NJ, 07307, USA - The Heights

    Bleecker St (Western Slope-Jersey City Heights)
    Intersections:Nelson Ave,Columbia Ave,Liberty Ave,and Terrace Ave

    Since Bleecker St doesn't qualify for all way stop signs.

  • 7th St & Monmouth St Jersey City, NJ, 07302, USA - Downtown
    Flex posts don’t do anything. Cars just drive right over them and block the crosswalk. Put real curbs in for extensions.
  • Communipaw Ave & Pine St Jersey City, NJ, 07304, USA - Bergen-Lafayette

    This intersection is extremely dangerous. 4 way intersection with cars being obstructed when coming out of Pine st.

    I think this may need a street light. The amount of times I’ve almost been hit by a car is way too dangerous

  • 2 Journal Square Plaza Jersey City NJ 07306, United States - Journal Square
    This is a request for this parking garage for their entrance on cottage as well as the entrance on JFK. The main image is for the entrance on cottage. The curb cut extends from well past the first white car all the way to where the second white car is parked. There is no indication (paint or signs) cars parked right up to the driveway entrance and vehicles entering the lot on cottage drive at an extremely high rate of speed, turning onto the sidewalk without being able to see if pedestrians are using the sidewalk. On JFK the entrance and exit for the garage is incredibly wid and visually incorporated into the sidewalk. The exit behind pedestrians waiting to cross to the path station is in line with the red bumps for the crosswalk. I can not tell you how many close calls I have seen with drivers speeding to make the light here. I appreciate that it may not be feasible to ask the garage to narrow but as the city looks to update Cottage Ave something including paint and signs and maybe speed bumps on the immediate approach to the driveway would be helpful This may seem like a quiet dead end street but it is not because cars and pedestrians all use Herbert place as a cut through and it's very busy. Thank you.b.e
  • Communipaw Ave & Mallory Ave Jersey City, NJ, 07304, USA - Lincoln Park
    The corner traffic light should have a left turn arrow first for people turning onto Mallory. The only way to get through a traffic light there when busy is to go through a red light.
