Traffic PLUS

Westbound traffic on Sussex Street ( Greene intersection ) routinely ignores or doesn’t see the RIGHT TURN ONLY signage painted on the road, and continues through the intersection.
Exacerbated by parked traffic just before the intersection, which partially blocks the signage- see truck in photo.

I have witnessed this for several years as we live on this corner. My wife works from home and sees this happen hundreds of times a day.

This is a safety concern as they often drive quickly.

Perhaps the traffic light could be changed to a right turn only arrow.
The signage could be better.
Parking could be restricted so the painted signage is not obscured.

Thank you

I am writing to report a serious and ongoing safety concern at the intersection of Marin Boulevard and 2nd Street, where construction-related lane shifts have created a dangerous traffic situation.

Although the change appears simple, many drivers are not following the proper lane guidance, leading to frequent near-collisions. Vehicles traveling northbound — especially from the left lane — consistently veer into the right lane after passing through the traffic light. I personally experienced a very close call today.

This issue is made worse by the currently faded lane markings, which only add to the confusion. I travel this route multiple times a day, and the dangerous behavior of drivers has become a daily occurrence.

I propose the following immediate corrective actions:

Install a solid lane line to prevent lane crossing.

Add clear signage to instruct drivers to stay in their lane.

It is unacceptable that such a serious and obvious safety issue has not yet been addressed. I am aware that another resident filed a similar complaint over a year ago. What is the status of that complaint? Why has there been no visible progress? The delays are putting drivers at constant risk. This issue demands immediate priority.

Separately, I previously reported the need for a left turn signal at the intersection of Marin Boulevard and 6th Street/Thomas Gengemu Drive (coming from the Holland Tunnel toward Newport Mall). That request was filed under Request ID #11488466 — in 2021 — and was closed without any resolution. It has now been nearly five years since this issue was first raised. When will action finally be taken?

Frankly, I am growing frustrated by the continued inaction on multiple safety concerns. If these matters cannot be properly addressed under your management, perhaps it is time for someone else to step in who will take the necessary steps to protect the public.

These issues are long overdue for resolution. I expect a prompt and detailed response regarding both the current situation at Marin and 2nd, and the long-outstanding turn signal request at 6th Street.

Jersey Ave and 3rd St is a busy intersection with many incidents of unsafe driving and parking. The daylighting with flex posts along 3rd St to the west of Jersey Ave is very helpful, but the other corners of this intersection are all missing any installed barriers.

The paint on the ground means nothing to drivers, who routinely park illegally either on the painted daylit section of road or on the crosswalk itself, blocking visibility for drivers and pedestrians and making it more dangerous to cross. Drivers also make high speed shallow turns, which is dangerous for pedestrians, cyclists, strollers, the disabled, etc.

This intersection would benefit hugely from having flexposts or more sturdy plastic bollards installed to fully daylight all four corners. In addition, adding planters in the daylit space would be effective at preventing any drivers from illegally crushing the flexposts, and is much cheaper than a more permanent solution like a concrete curb bump out.

Jersey Ave and 6th St is the model here - all four corners are daylit. It would be a big win to do the same for Jersey and 3rd, except adding planters as well.

And while we're on it, adding planters to the daylit space on Jersey and 6th corners would be helpful for the same reasons!

Thank you

Need traffic delineators/cones to prevent use of lane, leading to customer parking for Home Depot, by Holland Tunnel through traffic. The misuse of the lane slows down customers looking to park and also the through traffic when these cars in the wrong left lane try to merge back.
