Description

This is an extremely dangerous intersection. People routinely speed along Highland up and over this hill, with no regard for other traffic or the pedestrian activity stemming from the adjacent elementary school and family apartments. I would propose a stronger police presence here, especially during the hours of school pick-up and drop-off.

Furthermore, it is impossible to see up over the hill in order to make a safe left-hand turn onto Prospect Street, coming from either direction on Highland. This makes the intersection still more dangerous, with drivers attempting to turn essentially blindly, or even stopping in the middle of the intersection to wait for a break in traffic to turn (in which case the drivers behind this turning car will speed around it trying to beat the yellow light). Maybe a left-turn signal could be added to this light's rotation?
