Traffic PLUS

Today a car almost hit my husband in the corner of Newark and Pavonia. They driver was texting and he didn't Stop ( there is a Stop sign). Please add a Traffic light here or one of those small lights you have all over Newark. This is very dangerous, and hundreds of people cross this street everyday

This CitiBike driver thought that it would be OK for him to drive over the parking bollards that protect pedestrians at the corner and park there while he played with his cellphone.

Considering that our tax dollars have to pay for these to be replaced, it's appropriate that CitiBike should pay for that.

Every morning cars coming from Hoboken make a right turn onto 18th during the red light without even slowing down. I have been almost hit multiple times while crossing on the north side with the walk sign.

Something needs to be done about the school parking issues on Irving St and Nelson Ave. Barriers were put in place and people just park next to them or run them over. I’ve been a resident of this area my entire life and it has gotten worse and worse. Parking Authority refuses to acknowledge the issue. It makes no sense that parents are dropping kids off and blocking crosswalks and corners where other children cross going to two other nearby schools. Please don’t allow someone’s kid getting run over or an accident be the reason this is finally remedied.

Stop sign needed at corner on brunswick street. Multiple accidents within last 2 years. Drivers expect a 2 way stop sign at this intersection.

Flex posts are broken at the corner of Montgomery and summit and the corner is constantly obstructed by the large truck belonging to a local gym It's a major visibility and safety issue A more permanent solution is needed to make this area safe i

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.

Even with the pedestrian signs drivers do not slow down. When you cross the street that yell at pedestrians like we are in the wrong crossing when we have the right away and it is state law. Also, very often someone is parking on the crosswalk right in from of Lofi making it unsafe to cross. Please but protectors on the crosswalk and also put a pedestrian sign in the middle of the road too so slow down motorists and let pedestrians go.

Cars turn really fast on red here. It’s dangerous to pedestrians crossing. Please add a “No Turn on Red” sign and a speed hump.

Why was my previous request archived???

I was walking my baby in our stroller along with my dog and almost got hit by a car in this corner TWICE. Care turning off of grand street to Marin are super aggressive. I’ve also seen multiple people almost get hit here beside me, and know a biker was killed in this location.

This intersection is an issue because many people get off the highway and use this to cut through downtown. Either there is a red left turn signal and/or something, this intersection needs help.

The intersection of Pine and Johnston is extremely dangerous: limited sight distance, cars racing to making lights, excessive traffic from the bridge closing, poor crossing marking. This intersection would benefit greatly from simple changes like crossing lights to warn drivers of crossing, better markings, and a speed bump on Pine. However in the long-term, JC should consider a slow streets design the changes the street from a straight un-obstructed street to a street with intentional obstructions to slow traffic at intersections (e.g., circular planter in the middle of the intersection).

As this neighborhood grows, so will pedestrian traffic and JC needs be proactive about pedestrian safety.

This is also a major bike route for local residents, and desperately needs protected bike lanes.
