Is this going to be fixed? This is a very serious issue and if an accident happens at this intersection then the city should be held responsible.

THAT IS PRIVATE PROPERTY AND WE CAN NOT INSTALL ANY SIGNAGE THERE THE CONDO WOULD HAVE TO INSTALL SIGNAGE

Ok, could they be advised to install a stop sign? That would really help because this is very dangerous.

If the city can't do anything about this, is there someone else to complain to? And my biggest question of all is why does the stop sign say "All way"? If the cars coming out of the condos don't have a stop sign, and there's an intersection, shouldn't there be a sign saying "cross traffic does not stop"? Or "traffic from left/ right does not stop"?

CAN'T THE HOMEOWNERS' ASSOC. FOR THE CONDOS DO SOMETHING?? IT BENEFITS ALL.

Honestly why would the city put "All Way" on a stop sign if it's NOT ALL WAY?!

Thank you for reporting your issue to the City of Bridgeport. Your issue is now closed.

There needs to be something done about this.

Will anything be done about this? I saw a car dart out of here just today! If i knew who to contact, I sure would, but I don't!

STILL NO STOP SIGN. NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. NOT A JOKE.

I will just make another complaint if I get no response/ solution here.

The city may have unknowingly created a dangerous situation at that intersection when they recently installed two stop signs at the Glendale Ave and Sunrise Tr intersection. Before installation of these two stop signs, vehicles coming out of both the private condo property and Sunrise Terrace had to stop and look both ways before turning into the Glendale Ave. After the installation of the two extra stop signs, the city included "all way" signage in all 3 stop signs, and, unable to place a stop sign in the private property, is enabling vehicles coming out of this condo to essentially have the right of way at all times; so an unsuspicious vehicle reading the "all way" Stop waiting to turn will unknowingly assume that any vehicle leaving the condo area will stop, when this is now rarely the case. I don't technically blame the vehicles darting out of condo since the entire intersection must stop, except them.

If you cannot place a stop sign in the private property, you should either remove the signs (since they are creating a more dangerous situation), or at minimum remove the deceiving "all way" portion of the sign.

I'm actually a bit confused as to why they chose to had extra stop signs there; if I was to use this rationale, I would have prioritized the primrose/glendale ave intersection just 200ft down the road; the private properties in that intersection have tall bushes that cars turning out of primrose into glendale ave basically have to stick the nose of their cars almost halfway into glendale in order to be able to check for cross traffic. this intersection also has a private condo property entry at the intersection, so same exact situation as sunrise/glendale ave, expect more hidden.

By installation of the all-way stop at the intersection the City did not create dangerous situation because of the vehicle code. Per vehicle code, all traffic exiting a driveway must grant the ROW to traffic on street. That’s the reason why you don’t see thousands of stop signs along every driveway along Main Street. People have to learn to obey the vehicle code. By signing a driver license person indicates knowledge of all vehicle codes. If Mr. Mike contradicts this please tell him to read the vehicle code.

Stop sign was not placed along the driveway because it is outside of City ROW. Condo complex is responsible to install stop sign with all-way plaque with 7’ clearance between bottom of the sign and ground. In order to enforce this, you can bring zoning deportment to discussion.

However, based on past experience please install the stop sign with the plaque and inform the condo in writing (please use certified mail and send me proof of letter acceptance and letter) that they are responsible for upkeep of the sign from this point forward.

Completely agree with mike. Yes, maybe it doesn't violate any code. But it is misleading and confusing. And Primrose/ Glendale really should have a stop sign, because people entering Glendale from Primrose really can't see cars coming until they're already too far into the turn. Since there is not a lot of traffic here anyways, why not just remove the Sunrise/ Glendale stop signs entirely? Just so it's less misleading. And maybe installing stop signs for Glendale/ Primrose would be a good idea just to make it safer?
