City of Salem PLUS

We have lived in this neighborhood for almost 9 years now, and frequently walk our young children and dogs down west Avenue to Forest River Park and throughout this neighborhood. Shouldn’t there be some sort of traffic sign at this intersection? Should there at least be a yield sign? Should there be a stop sign? It seems really dangerous to me that people sometimes just come flying down into forest river park or flying down and making a quick right turn onto West Avenue. Thank you for considering this.

The New Rotary is a 4 way Yield, but traffic coming on Swampscott Road from Swampscott and traffic from Appositive way; don't want to stop and go, they keep going like they are the only one that have the right. And traffic form on 1st Street due to moving traffic from Swampscott Road don't let cars go. Please do something so is equal to every way traffic

Missing Gallows Hill Road Street sign.
the recycle truck knocked it off more than a year ago, and was reported.

There have been a lot of large trucks trying to drive down Turner Street this year. Some of them have been towing trailers with large boats or trucks carrying moorings. This morning, a truck carrying moorings had to back half way down Turner Street after the driver realized he made a mistake. I’ve also seen your buses turn down Turner Street on their way to the House of Seven Gables. I believe most of these vehicles are using GPS to get to the marina near the ferry landing. Could we put signs up restricting truck traffic on Turner Street unless it is for a delivery on the street and/or reclassify the street so GPS stops directing traffic down Turner Street?

Is it possible to get a no turn on red at Federal and north street on the courthouse block? The visibility is poor due to trees and plantings, cars constantly honk at cars not turning on red. Recently cars have been going around cars by jumping the curb to get out onto north street. Drivers need to realize that from federal people can also go straight down the ramp to bridge street and not just right at north street. It has escalated to people yelling at each other when cars won’t turn either and seems to be through traffic off Washington trying to skip the light at Washington and bridge street exacerbating the problem. If federal at the courthouse also had speed bumps to slow the traffic and make it a less appealing “time saver” cut through it would minimize the aggression at the intersection.

Pope St sees wrong way drivers atleast twice a day mostly tourist visiting the memorial.

I have complained before about it, but the city seems to have no regard for the safety of its residents here or the ignorant tourists we deal with on a daily basis. Some updated, visible ONE WAY signs and a speed radar sign would be much appreciated for the speed racers flying down here from Procter.

Only a matter of time before one of the cities precious tourists are injured.

Cars race around the corner and down the street and there are many children on this street playing. It is dangerous. We need a slow down sign or speed bumps to keep the children and elderly safe.
