  • 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. 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.

    Apparently truck drivers consistently ignore No Trucks signs on entrances to Broad and Dalton. This is one of many examples of the size of tractor trailers that routinely use Broad to avoid traffic lights and traffic circles near our neighborhood. We must have prominent signs at each entry and, most importantly, ENFORCEMENT!
  • 29 Harbor St Salem, MA 01970, USA - City of Salem
    we've had several cars traveling fast the wong way on one-way Harbor St this week. I checked the cross streets and some have no "one-way" signs, there are no "wrong way" signs, and some others are hard to see. I hope the city can come check it out and help. i have several videos of the cars going the wrong way, appears to be accidentally, not intentional

    Another Crossing sign needs attention at Broad and Hawthorne. These cross walk signs have been marginally successful in slowing some traffic. They do seem to force more careful turning at this intersection. This shows that traffic calming can work - would be even better if permanent fixes were constructed.

    To whom it may concern.

    There needs to be a quite zone sign outside of 403 & 405 Essex Street Salem since people make noise from the hours of 6:00A.M. to 11:00P.M.
    Monday - Friday and there are people in the apartment building that are eldery and disabled that live in a private housing apartment building and also there are people in the apartment building that do work for a living where they sleep in the morning and also there are people in the building that would like peace & quite during those hours of the day and night and this has become a problem over the past couple of years and the city hasn't done anything about it so I hope something can happen soon.

    Thank you

  • Washington St @ New Derby St Salem, MA 01970, USA - City of Salem
    Nasty twisted metal sign post adjacent to busy tourist crosswalk.

    May we please have a new school/school crossing sign? The old one is difficult to see. Thank you.

    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
  • 61-99 West Ave Salem, MA, 01970, USA - City of Salem
    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.
  • Brown St & Washington Sq Salem, MA, 01970, USA - City of Salem
    The pedestrian walk signal on the commons side isn’t blinking letting drivers know there’s an active crosswalk - it’s dangerous at night with the low lit area
  • 45 Linden Street Salem, Massachusetts, 01970 - City of Salem
    2 resident parking signs on Linden (near Hersey) are faded and enforcement not being done as a result.
