Deskripsyon
Motorists speed off 95 onto Kimberly without reducing their speed. For cyclists, this creates a high-speed and incredibly dangerous merge. A yield sign here (and maybe even cleaning up the hypodermic needles lying around) would be a great help to those commuting between New Haven and West Haven. This whole section of Kimberly Avenue is dangerous enough already without cars speeding way too fast off the highway too.

I posted this on another issue about the interchange exit at Kimberly - equally relevant on this thread:
This entire interchange is unacceptable in all respects - it is in violation of any and all reasonable progressive health codes, plans, complete streets ordinances, and urban design guidelines. There are a number of other issues nearby with similar complaints.
If the DOT is going to operate an interchange on one of the city's primary access arteries, and within a dense urban neighborhood, it must take the health of the neighborhood into account.
For every project and every structure conducted or maintained by DOT, a health impact assessment should be conducted that weighs the impact of all policies, procedures and construction.
That's the way they do it in many other countries (as well as some other cities now) and that's one reason why those countries have significantly more attractive built environments and more viable city neighborhoods.
