  • 61 Cross Pkwy Burlington, VT, 05408, USA - Burlington Electric
    Traffic calming/speed bump please! There are no sidewalks on our street and people at the end often drive incredibly fast and there are always kids playing so it’s super dangerous.
  • S Union St Burlington, Vermont, 05401 - Burlington Electric
    New speed bumps need to be shaved.
  • 257 N Winooski Ave Burlington, VT, 05401, USA - Burlington Electric
    6 Vehicles parked in BIKE LANE. Inadequate signage. Creating ongoing safety hazard for bikes, pedestrians, vehicles.
  • Lakeside Ave & Pine St Burlington, VT, 05401, USA - Burlington Electric

    The pavement markings at this intersection are creating some dangerous conditions, this needs immediate attention.

    Pine st, right lane heading south: too narrow, drivers don't realize there's a turning lane, almost got sides wiped there today

    Pine st, left turn lane heading north: two sets of pavement markings, both equally visible, creating confusion about where the turning lane is. Almost got hit head on there today.

    Please get it together guys. I spoke with someone from PW about this and they claimed the dept wasn't aware of it... This is right outside the PW office, there is no excuse for it to be this bad. It's unsafe and irresponsible to leave the markings in that condition.

  • 192 Elmwood Ave Burlington, VT, 05401, USA - Burlington Electric
    There is an awful speed bump that might’ve severely damaged the undercarriage of my car. It is completely black and blends in with the road on the northern most part of Elmwood avenue. I went over it at 10 miles per hour after slamming on my brakes and I think something could have seriously been broken. I go over it at 3 mph now. It needs to be marked or taken down. It is damaging and people with low riding cars and people who don’t know it’s there are at a serious disadvantage. Not to mention the insurance claims. Please mark it very obviously. There are others on pines st and east ave just like this one, I believe.
  • Flynn Ave & Oak Beach Dr Burlington, VT, 05401, USA - Burlington Electric
    Now that Flynn Ave. is nicely paved (thank you!), some people think it's a race track and drive too fast. I don't believe there are speed limit signs yet. Perhaps a roadside speed feedback machine could be placed on Flynn Ave to make people aware of both the speed limit and how fast they are driving?

    100-168 Ethan Allen Pkwy Burlington, VT, 05408, USA - Burlington Electric
    Every day multiple cars sped by on this street. I can’t believe there are speed bumps by Hunt Middle school to calm traffic but none on this street which has an elementary school on it. Something needs to be done to slow the traffic before another accident occurs.
  • S Prospect St & Maple St Burlington, Vermont, 05401 - Burlington Electric
    This crosswalk desperately needs a light. People driving cars don't Iook East, since no cars come from that direction, but it is heavily crossed by pedestrians taking the foot path from campus. I just watched a poor older woman get stuck there with cars just going right by her until I stopped traffic for her
  • Excessive speedingPotwierdzone
    North Ave Burlington, VT, 05408, USA - Burlington Electric
    The traffic on North Avenue between the beltline and on off ramp and the supermarket is continuously over the speed limit.
  • Central Ave & Wright Ave Burlington, VT, 05401, USA - Burlington Electric
    There are only two stop signs at this intersection (both directions on Central Ave), and there should really be two stop signs on Wright Ave as well. It should either be a four-way stop, or if not, a two-way stop on Wright Ave (instead of Central).
  • Manhattan Dr & Spring St Burlington, VT, 05401, USA - Burlington Electric
    The intersection of Manhattan Drive and Spring Street is a notoriously busy and dangerous intersection for pedestrians. Drivers interpret the stop signs as a suggestion instead of the law and at the corner of a primary school it is a hazard. During the school year there are no crossing guards on this corner to ensure children can cross safely. Can we please get the crosswalk lights installed here? Thank you!
  • Home Ave & Shelburne St Burlington, VT, 05401, USA - Burlington Electric

    Left turn signals at lighted intersections, ADDING A CENTER LEFT TURN LANE between Flynn and the roundabout for people turning onto side streets, and additional signage are desperately needed on Shelburne Rd. (perhaps with extra enforcement from BPD/SBPD/VSP regarding lane restrictions and turn signal use):

    - Traffic backs up for multiple blocks during peak hours, mostly as a result of people making left hand turns. This leads to dangerous tailgating / close following, reduced visibility for motorists and pedestrians, intersection blockages.
    - Timid and distracted motorists force attentive drivers to engage in aggressive maneuvering to avoid accidents & keep traffic moving.
    - Poor understanding about how the roundabout works exacerbates these issues. Drivers frequently come to a complete stop at the yield signs before entering the roundabout, even when traffic conditions do not warrant it and/or there are no oncoming cars. Few people use their turn signals correctly on exiting the roundabout, making people fearful of entering. And so on.
