Cars leaving NH at 5 pm have only a single lane on Trumbull going towards Orange as they head for I91-i95 on ramps. Why is parking allowed between 4 and 6 pm on the right side of Trumbull? The City wisely eliminated parking on the other side from 7-9 am to reduce the major jams from car coming into the City from these ramps. Can we now do the same for cars trying to go home? What a difference two lanes would make for everyone departing after work each day!

For those of us that live and work in New Haven, contributing to the economy, parking is the least we should expect to have.
Complaints about traffic from people that take jobs away from residents is quite cheeky. Get a job in your suburb; problem solved.

That's right! You got it!
BTW The city is working on getting the traffic to s-l-o-w d-o-w-n and improving mass transportation.

They have been working on mass transportation for 30 years and how far have they got? One train station?
As for slowing down traffic- that's been accomplished, its a parking lot at almost every intersection and you can't get more than a block without a red light.
@skyemoon - way to keep suburban money out of town and kill the local economy- like people who commute don't buy lunch or shop in New Haven or visit establishments after work- your the one that's cheeky- check ur tude

Not everyone works 9-5. Plus parking is needed for kids activities near Audubon.
What I see is lack of service from the suburbanites when I am at the hospital, university or other businesses so their traffic woes are not so tragic. As someone that commuted 5 hours/day to NY, this wimpy complaining is a nuisance.
I sit in that same traffic most days to I-91 and avoid the mass exodus that is on I-95 "getting out of dodge."
Many qualified residents can replace the noise. Complaining with the same attitude I am certain they bring to their job.

LOST CAT!
Has anyone seen a beautiful calico cat?. She wears a collar with bell. She's very gentle and friendly and responds warmly to affectionate strokings. She is desperately missed by her family -- her daughter, her mother and all her human family too. Help please!!

How about out-of-city car parks , as in Denver, with a constant flow of free transportation into the city center at rush hour times, scaled to need and reduced in off-peak times?
If Denver can close its city center to private motor vehicles and provide free inner city buses or trams, why not New Haven?

New Haven had a free trolley system when I got here in 2001 and it only ran in a loop downtown to Broadway.
Traffic is frustrating for all; we take the Yale shuttle whenever possible by parking close to a stop with free parking.

A problem brought to light should be thoroughly assessed for improvement. My frustration at those who brave this once an evening while I may sit in that traffic 2-3 times without complaining does not make it any less important.

When we feel we are being delayed, how much time are we actually talking about in this move to get out of the city? Seconds, minutes? When you are leaving New Haven and heading for the intersection of Orange and Trumbull streets please consider that there are more pedestrians doing the same thing pushing that walk light button.
When we feel we are being delayed, how much time are we actually talking about in this move to get out of the city? I am curious what you commuters think would be a "good amount of time" to regain by turning Trumbull Street into a thoroughfare four hours a day.
What we are forgetting are the pedestrians who press the walk light buttons while you sit in traffic. There may be a memory about how there was no parking on Trumbull but there was also a time there were no walk lights at Orange and Trumbull.
No parking on Trumbull at certain times means more pedestrians and more walk lights. Should everybody close up shop early and go home early?
Maybe you commuters should allow more time for your commute home.
Years ago after there were several accidents at Orange andTrumbull Streets there was a few second delay between Red to Green which gave violators more time to get out of the way.
The accidents are back in a cluster. Cars and trucks crashing into each other and up on the sidewalk damaging property.
It is not a safe intersection, but it is safer if you are crawling home. And it is quieter—slower traffic does not bounce through the uneven pavement.
I suggest if you are not happy here, you find another way.
