Description
The intersection of Brook Road, Slade Road and Washington St. is very dangerous. The speed limit on Washington St. (Route 29) is 55 mph. It is very difficult to get across this highway safely. A traffic signal and a lower Washington Street speed limit would help the situation.

Thanks Mike. It is a dangerous intersection for many reasons. The speed limit on that setion of Washington Street should not be 55 mph. It is too fast. To turn into Slade road from the east, you have to come to an almost complete stop. Many cars have nearly been rear-ended. Also, the volume of traffic from Slade and Brook has increased markedly over the years. Many cars and trucks line up there at certain times of day. Also, the number of trucks entering the intersection from the quarry, Stewarts, etc. has increased. A speed limit of 45 mph on Washington Street ( a determination that ultimately rests with the state) would make it much easier for cars and trucks to safely negotiate the intrsection.

Like I've said before, Pallette has been there for 90 years. Why is it a problem all of a sudden.
Private companies will be a thing of the past if we can't tolerate a bit of incovenience at times. I remember the old times in Saratoga when there were corner stores. Big box stores helped to eliminate, however, people moving to neighborhoods where they were did not like all the traffic and delivery trucks, etc. THEY WENT AWAY and now no one would allow that in their neighborhood. Let's just all get along and let people do their thing. If you don't like it, don't go near it. Don't buy a house in their vacinity.

The NYS DOT is evaluating this roadway as well as others.
