City of Salem PIU

The power went out on the block on Sunday; the lights have been flashing since then instead of going through the regular traffic cycle.

Flint and Bridge Street traffic lights is all messed up!
Traffic is jammed up and the light is misfiring, needs a fix ASAP

The lights are out of timing. Only a few cars can go left onto Marlborough road. This is causing significant back up to get through Highland Ave. The signal was working until the last few weeks.

Crosswalk signs not showing don't cross warning.

New weighted pedestrian sign keeps getting hit or moved. Cars to continue to speed tailgate or disregard there barreling through a neighbor hood. A system of one ways around area might fix this.

The speed limit sign doesn’t show speed limit.

The traffic signal from Traders Way to Marlborough Rd, often does not work correctly. The traffic signal will allow all other directions to go multiple times before it allows this direction to go. I have had times where I have been trapped at this light close to 10 minutes before . Sometimes when the light does finally turn green it's for a few seconds and then right back to red. This has occurredmultiple timess durig morning commuting.

traffic light at corner of Lafayette and Harbor is stuck on green one way, red the other, so people are having to run red light, crossing traffic, during busy rush hour (7:10 am on Thurs Mar 21).. this happens about once a week around the same time. should be looked into

The light that allows someone on Barnes or Ravenna to turn onto highland is not working properly. The light switches several times and cars are piling up without a green light to allow them to cross highland. I first noticed this last Friday but encountered this issue again this morning

EXTREMELY dangerous intersection.

It is well known by residents of the area that many commuters use Green St. as a cut behind for the Lafayette Street traffic. On numerous occasions, vehicles completely blow through the stop sign and do not even bother to look. This is a densely populated area with many children and pets.

Consideration should be made to making the street an Do Not Enter - Abutters Only during the hours of 2PM until 7PM and from Monday to Friday from the area of Summit and Clifton, Summit and Willow, West and Plymouth as well as Green and Eden.

This solution would not impact residents but deter commuters from flying down the backroads to avoid heavy traffic. A prime example of this can be found in Cambridge MA in the Alewife area of Route 16 and Route 2 at Alewife Brooke Parkway and Whittemore Ave.

This would dramatically increase the safety of residents and similar solutions could be implemented in various other parts of the City as well.

Sensors on the traffic light are not funtioning properly. When there are no cars on Cherry Hill rd the light still turns green causing longer light times and traffic.
