Hi, Nick. I live two miles up Binnewater Road from this.

RPD needs a squad car at this location from 8 A.M. to 6 P.M. Monday-Friday. That silly radar sign means nothing if no one enforces traffic regulations.

The locals (Rosendale, High Falls, Esopus and Bloomington) are not the problem (we're pretty respectful with each other, we're not Kingston, where people couldn't obey stop signs on Wall & N. Front Street), but unfortunately are getting left with one. And I agree, Sawdust Road is nothing but blind turns and low wires. If the trucks can't be re-routed, someone should be watching them during business hours.

I agree. If this is the way NY is going to treat us, they had better pay someone to come in here and pull the wires up higher. It's ridiculous. It's not even just the wires, it's the traffic. There are no cops on this road to watch for people speeding. People drive past the traffic radar sign and purposely speed up to see how fast they can go. I can't imagine how the people coming out of Circle Avenue are faring, although it seems they are doing all right.
PLEASE get the cops onto Sawdust permanently. I don't care if you can't afford it, we're going to eventually have a worse accident than the ones we've been having. (Flipped cars, grazings, you name it.)
On another note, when the cops or ambulances fly past, it would be nice if they could warn us that they're coming. No reason to drive by without your sirens on. That's why the vehicles were equipped with them.

i noticed that the detour sign at the corner of cottekil and sawdust should be redirected to indicate the detour should go the other way towards stoneridge. i think it would solve a lot of the truck traffic that is on this section of the road. i heard very soon the road rte 213 will be open again hoping it happens soon

Can we close this one? The 32 bridge is repaired and the detour is closed.

close it i agree

Yeah, I posted this problem last year, and I can't get back in to close it out. The detour was cancelled in the Fall of 2010, but the truck traffic continues. Cottekill Road has had 20-ton limit signs waiting to be uncovered after the route 213 culvert is replaced this Summer, so relief is in sight...Nick

Thanks for the heads-up, Nick.

detour is closed
