I just noticed this situation myself, it's shocking that this has been reported 2 years ago and nothing has been done. That said, because Albemarle doesn't go straight through, traffic has to slow down for a turn. It's actually convenient for me, because I treat it as a YIELD, I certainly wouldn't challenge Shadeland traffic, but if the way is clear, it's nice not to be required to stop.

As the original poster stated, for those not familiar with the area, it's quite dangerous, and I'm surprised there's not more mashing of the metal.

Close this. 4 years old. Reporting it here does nothing as UD TWP does NOT follow this site. You have to complain directly to them via their website.

I've reported, and seen, various issues reported over the years, and as Weezy says, there is no indication that UD Twp does anything about it.

I understand that vague reports like "some cars drive too fast" is not specific enough for township action, but documentation of faulty conditions should at least generate an acknowledgment or response.

Which leads to the question as to the purpose of the site -- I went back and read 'how it works', and it would appear to be appropriate to discuss traffic and street issues here, in fact an example cites a traffic light out. I assumed it was a convenient place to report community issues without having to research just which department of whatever township is responsible. And to engender conversation about an issue.

So, what's the deal, what is the site for, if it isn't for reporting road-type issues, then that should be updated in the description that such things should NOT be sent here but directly to the responsible department, or is that an exception just for UD township?

I'm not disputing the closing of old unresolved issues, but rather an explanation of what, if any, interface there is between this site and the local jurisdictions. If it is strictly chance that someone at the township happens to read what's here, much less respond or do anything, then it doesn't seem to have much functionality.

To Sage and ProfQuill: Thank you for your respectful comments. First let me address what I know about UD Twp. and this website, as I've called the Mayor's Office to a response of 'We've never hear of it". They want all incidents reported on their website www.upperdarbytownship.org. On that site there is a general request form and then each Dept. is listed with an explanation of what they are responsible for and a contact for that Dept. is available. I've used it a few times and they respond. Know that all traffic law, parking, and other violations of traffic or other law should be addressed to the UDPD, who have their own website, phone # or call 911 and they do respond to all calls other than non emergency animal calls that go to the Animal Control Officer. It seems the Twp. wants you to come to them, rather than them having to sort through the comments on this site. So whatever you post here will NOT be seen by anyone at the Twp.. You can look on the right side of the page to see who is watching any given issue. You won't find UD Twp. there.
Traffic signs and light are a different story. It used to be that a Stop Sign could be put up anywhere in a 'political' fashion but that no longer occurs. Studies have to be completed to see if the site(intersection) meet certain requirements. Perhaps a study was done at this location or is outdated or never done. Let me finish by saying that UD Twp. has Wards and each are represented by an elected councilperson whose job it is to assist in matters like these that may need extra help.
The objective of this site is to get things FIXED. Each time I close an issue it is reviewed by a moderator at this website so I am not acting without review. I also try to tell anyone interested who to contact to get the issue FIXED, if it is fixable. Some things in life just can't be fixed.
I am more than willing to help in any issue you may have by directing you to an appropriate Twp. or State contact. I hope that answers all questions you both had.
