  • 6 Mall St Salem MA 01970, United States - City of Salem
    Traffic is backed up over half way down Mall street. People are using it as a cut-through to Bridge street, even though Mall street is not a through street Please add additional signage or traffic officers This is very unfair to residents.
  • Highland Ave Salem, MA, 01970, USA - City of Salem
    There are NO speed limit signs going south from Salem Hospital all the way to the pedestrian bridge after Crowdis St. where there is a 35 mph sign. There is one 30 mph speed limit sign going south by Collins Middle School. One 30 mph sign fell down on the SW corner of Colby St. 2 years ago and has not been replaced! The speed limit is 30 mph on Highland Ave. from the pedestrian bridge going north but only one sign and not until you get to the Salem Hospital.
    Result: Highland Ave. can be renamed "The Salem Speedway!"
    Signs need to be posted every few blocks on this main north south road.
    I would also suggest LOWERING the speed limit to 25 mph until the pedestrian bridge then up to 30 mph maximum to the Lynn line. Safety first! Many cars and trucks! also routinely go 45-50 when traffic is light....

    This was originally posted back on 6/20/2020 and NO new speed limit signs have yet been installed. On 6/26/2020, Officer Dana Mazola was killed by a speeding car (going 55 mph in a 25 mph zone) on Jefferson Ave. Please take action to stop the speeding! Enough said.

    108 Marlborough Road Salem, MA, 01970, USA - City of Salem
    We previously requested to have a hidden driveway sign installed near our residence on 108 Marlborough Rd, while we understand that will not slow down speeders, our driveway is hidden from drivers coming from Highland ave and whether they are speeding or not it is very difficult for them to slow down or for us to know if they are coming. So whether it is a mirror or a slow down hidden driveway sign for safety sake something needs to be put here.

    Canal St & Ocean Ave Salem, MA, 01970, USA - City of Salem
    Because of the opening of Starbucks, there are more pedestrians trying to cross canal st, at ocean Ave. A pedestrian crossing light would be great! Like the one down the street, at the bike path.
  • 24 Congress St Salem MA 01970, United States - City of Salem
    Easy fix. There’s a few of these missing on the harbor walk as you walk towards congress street. They just need to be reattached. Thank you

    5 Linden Street Salem, Massachusetts, 01970 - City of Salem

    This house used to have a single width, tandem driveway. After it was encroached upon too many times, they got the city to install a "No Parking, Driveway" sign. Last week they paved a two-car width driveway over their lawn (the city sidewalk and city curbs) effectively eliminating an entire on street space for parking.

    Please remove the sign that gives them the ability to have cars towed and make it clear somehow that people are allowed to park on the street in front of their new "driveway."
