  • Cottage St & Willson Rd Salem, MA, 01970, USA - City of Salem
    There was a stop sign on the corner, now it is not there. Will it be replaced?
    People already fly down Wilson using it as a cut through. The stop sign helps some.
  • 73 Commercial St Salem MA 01970, United States - City of Salem
    Can the city add "no parking" signs in front of the memorials place? Every time I walk past, at least 3-4 cars are parked on the sidewalk This has been reported before with no action taken There are plenty of on street parking spots here

    Ober St & Wall St Salem, MA, 01970, USA - City of Salem
    When driving down Ober St there is no stop sign when approaching Wall St. If you’re driving down Wall St and someone is taking a left from
    Ober st onto Wall st it can cause for a car accident because you cannot see beyond the fence. A stop sign would alleviate any accidents
  • Dow St & Salem St Salem, MA, 01970, USA - City of Salem

    Bridge St Salem MA 01970, United States - City of Salem
    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.
  • Fort Ave & Webb St Salem, MA, 01970, USA - City of Salem
    It’s impossible to see oncoming traffic from Stop sign @ Webb & Fort Ave because of the car that is always parked on Fort Ave. You have to pull way out beyond Stop sign into oncoming traffic to look to the right before pulling out. There really needs to be a “no parking here to corner” sign there to avoid an accident.
  • 61-65 Canal St Salem, MA, 01970, USA - City of Salem

    Hello -

    Please install pedestrian warning signs (W11-2 with arrow plaques) at the crosswalks along Canal St. Prioritize crosswalk locations with stamped brick patterns as these lack retro reflective markings. Please also restrict parking within 20 feet of the crosswalk for visibility.

    Longer term, please consider adding overhead street lighting at this location. In addition, please use reflective crosswalk markings as stamped brick or other decorative crosswalks cannot be seen at night.

    Canal St & Ocean Ave Salem, MA, 01970, USA - City of Salem
    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.
  • 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.

    108 Marlborough Road Salem, MA, 01970, USA - City of Salem
    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.

    5 Linden Street Salem, Massachusetts, 01970 - City of Salem

    This house used to have a single width, tandem driveway. After it was encroached upon too many times, they got the city to install a "No Parking, Driveway" sign. Last week they paved a two-car width driveway over their lawn (the city sidewalk and city curbs) effectively eliminating an entire on street space for parking.

    Please remove the sign that gives them the ability to have cars towed and make it clear somehow that people are allowed to park on the street in front of their new "driveway."
