Another collision happened today on MLK and 15th Ave. N. The problem is 16/15 th ave is about half way between lights at 22nd and 9th Ave's north. The last traffic study had 50% of the traffic going more than 45mph. With the window open i can tell when cars are going 45 and 85. Can you add a traffic signal or something to slow traffic? 2 days ago i heard a motorcycle go by so fast that it sounded like a jet going by. Once every few years there is a ticket writing party and then nothing. I think a timed traffic signal would keep cars going the speed limit and discourage these high speed vehicles.
When we come from the light at 9th going north, you can tell the people coming off 22nd who are speeding because there is a gap between them and the group going the speed limit. Sometimes you can turn in between them, other times you have to wait and wait for an opening.
Please help!
I think Mike Fredricks did the last study at 16th ave, he would not say how fast the fastest vehicle was going. I'll bet over 100mph. Its a long straightaway.

Yeah, Thanks Mike and SPPD for today's action. This morning is really nice, it won't last though. Tonight they will be zooming by again. I hope that Company Clerk gets some relief soon.
MLK is really becoming a fast conduit for people getting in and out of downtown. Timed lights are a fantastic way of encouraging traffic to flow at the speed limit. It would be nice if there was signage along the streets with timed lights indicating that the lights are timed to the speed limit. I told one person who kept hitting the red lights to go the speed limit and they will hit every green light. They smiled and said thanks a lot, they didn't know.

Rasterdan--the person who initially reported the issue should be able to change the location. Click on where it says "edit" in the box to the right of the description and there should be a place to change the address there.
We are not able to edit issues ourselves for public information reasons. We have to go through a process for it to be changed, so it would probably be quicker if you can do it. If for some reason you are not able to, let us know and we will work on it. Thanks, Mayor's Action Center

Not taking aby sides but based on the initial conplaint. Someone spoke about how they can tell thier speeding from the gap between the vehicles that arent apeeding and the ones that are, when coning off a light i usually get a gap of about 3 car lengths or more in the first few blocks if im in front, mostly that gap comes from a person paying a greater amount of attention to the light as well as a faster accelerator than the rest, happens to ne ob a daily basis even tho im never speeding.
Too many out there today that when light changes do nothing or they barely accelerate like they ate backing out of a garage.
I am not saying that no one speeds at that spot as i dont travel it enough, just saw you describing what i usually see when im in front at a light

I tell you what, go to MLK and 16th north sometime and try to cross the road on foot, esp early evening after rush hour, or in the morning when you want to walk the dog etc. Some of these people would get tickets on the highway. I think this is why the city won't release the stats on how fast cars are actually going. Company Clerk is also having the same problem on the south side.
10 over is no problem in my opinion, the 20, 30, and 40 over are a problem. And believe me, they are happening because i see them out my kitchen window or when we want to walk to the Dairy Inn. It is down right dangerous crossing MLK on foot, especially in the provided crosswalk with flashing lights.
