City of Salem IYO

The traffic light outside of the MBTA garage is causing a ton of issues. The red light (leaning the garage) is so long that I have personally witnessed three "left on reds" this week. The timing or sensors need to be fixed. Salem claims to be transportation friendly yet driving home for the train during peak times is a horror show forcing drivers to make illegal turns or wait forever to leave for home. Figure it out, please.

Over the weekends leading up to Halloween and on Halloween itself, the traffic signal at the intersection of North and Federal streets is changed to a flashing orange (for drivers on North) and flashing red (for the drivers exiting Federal). While this portion of Federal Street has relatively little traffic exiting it, pedestrians still need to cross this intersection safely and cannot do so when the lights are disabled. I’ve had several close calls over the last month trying to cross this street in broad daylight. Tragically, this safety issue culminated in a pedestrian being struck by a car here in a hit and run accident on Halloween night. I am requesting that these lights not be disabled OR that a police officer be posted here when they are to manage the flow of traffic and ensure pedestrian safety.

As a cyclist, making a left from Sargent Ayube Memorial Drive onto Bridge Street, the signal does not work. There is a market indicating that bicycles should wait at the head of the queue to make a left, but the sensor does not detect a bicycle. I waited three light cycles before proceeding on red-for-left, because I could not get a left green light.

The not so “smart lights” are malfunctioning. I sat through 5 light cycles this morning to go 150 yards from Washington st to St Peter st. They appear to be doing the same thing this evening.

There's something wrong with the light at the intersection of Cherry Hill Ave and Highland Ave. The light will not turn green if no one is in the right lane. I've sat through five cycles where it skips me and it only seems to change once someone pulls up to the right lane.

This means people are either potentially waiting forever to make a left turn, are forced to run a light (unsafely due to visibility), or illegally turn left from the right lane.

Please fix this asap. I would walk to some locations but as reported countless times the road lacks sidewalks and drivers constantly speed so walking is also unsafe.

Goes with out saying. Streets like Jefferson Avenue need traffic lights not just walk signals that no ine abides by. There should be working likes from the Tin Whistle To CVS. It's dangerous for the kismds amd adults for that matter, to get to their destination safely. People don't follow the speed limit. Speeding day and night. beeping constantly. Road Rage. And a poor woman was killed a few months ago and no one in the city seems to care. Worse street going in Salem. Not to mention the trash everywhere. It's a disgrace to the city that is suppose to be a tourist/historical place.

Another day, another driver who almost hit me while in the MIDDLE of the crosswalk... as I'm already halfway across. It happened on the way to work, and again on my walk home today. Can something please be done? Flashing yellow pedestrian lights, maybe?

At the corner of Washington and Norman the pedestrian walk button is very loose on the pole

Winthrop Hawthorne need to one ways in some fashion. Already to narrow snow makes worse. Worst park nig cut through for Mar legend Swampscott residents.

Pedestrian walk sign is blinking with both walk and stop at the same time
