I travel this road regularly to go from downtown (E. Strand) to uptown (Washington Ave/Rt 32/Wall St), and have never had a problem with traffic not stopping on Rt 213. This isn't to say that it doesn't happen (I'm not there all the time, of course), but additional study of traffic patterns might be necessary before changing the current light system.

I travel this road almost daily and, like Ms. Teetsel, I've never had a problem coming down W. O'Reilly. I've never encountered anyone not stopping on 213 in either direction. W. O'Reilly St. has the blinking yellow because of the very steep downhill; if drivers were coming down W. O'Reilly and had to stop for a yellow or red light, they might be skidding into the intersection. If there is a problem with drivers not stopping, perhaps the city could post signs (ahead of the intersection in accordance with the DOT guidelines) that there's a stop ahead. Along with that, there could be a sign on 213 that the incoming traffic (from W. O'Reilly) has the right-of-way. Someone less familiar with the intersection might think it's an all-way stop and proceed with the expectation that the W. O'Reilly driver is going to stop as well.

i live in colonial village so im drive this intersection every single day and daily im scared im going to get into an accident i think a three way stop or a regular traffic light should be put here

i live in colonial village to an all we need is stepped up Law Enforcement.

Waiting for an answer

This is an enforcement issue not a maintenance issue. If light is changed in some manner then DPW would be involved.

Hello,

Thanks for posting.

I'm going to go ahead and close this out for now.

Please take a look at this link...

Taking part and speaking up about these types of issues are a sure fire way to make your voice and concerns heard.

Bringing this issue up to you local elected officials is the best way. As I'm learning myself, the people in place who are there to help us can't if they don't know the problem.

Using SeeClickFix is a great first step, but take some time and contact your elected officials, speak with people at cityhall, and play an active role in your wards functions, and attend ward / city meetings when ever possible.
