Speeding down Willow St. as vehicles come off of I-91 is a major safety concern, especially given the vicinity of East Rock Elementary School and high volume of pedestrian traffic as you enter the residential East Rock neighborhood.
Suggestions to reduce speeding:
1) Speed Limit Signs Needed on Willow St. : Currently, there is a noticeable absence of speed limit signs, and none are posted on the east or west bound sides of Willow St. from the stretch from the I-91 exit ramp until after Orange St.
2) Addition of Stop Signs at Willow/Nicoll St. Intersection: This busy intersection has been a magnet for car and pedestrian accidents for years, and the addition of east and west bound stop signs at the Willow/Nicoll St. intersection could be a quick and inexpensive effort to slow traffic, reduce speeding and hopefully mitigate future accidents. Note: There is currently a traffic light at Willow St./Mitchell Dr., but once past the light, vehicles speed on Willow St. past the Nash St. and Nicoll St. intersections.

Willow St. suburban speedway (ضيف)
1) Right... because people really pay attention to speed limit signs - waste of money.
2)Stop Signs - probably would help to slow down speeders. Drivers heading East, on Willow St. can see the green light, at Foster St., from West of Orange St., so they increase their speed to make the light. Alternating the parking pattern, that is, requiring parking on different sides of the street, on different blocks, e.g., North side between Orange and Livingston, South Side between Orange and Anderson, etc... would eliminate the speedway effect of the design of Willow St.
