City of Salem PLUS

This crosswalk between Howard St and Howard St Ext crossing over Bridge Street is extremely dangerous. Poor signage and faded crosswalk leads to vehicles not even aware that it is there. When I walk my dog across the street to the common space, I constantly almost get run over from vehicles traveling too fast and not paying attention to this intersection. Is it possible to get the solar powered flashing light crosswalk signs installed here. If not please provide more signage and fresh paint to make drivers aware of this intersection.

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.

Can pedestrian crossing or similar signs be added to this crosswalk?

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. 3 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.

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.

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.

DONT BLOCK THE STREETS SIGNS
need to be added on willson and Jefferson st. at EVERY INTERSECTION!!!!

cars waiting for the lights to change constantly block streets amd don't allow cars to cross onto willson or other side streets

Parking line need redrawn so cars aren't parking in front of the driveway. Difficult to turn in or out of this very narrow space.
