Description
If you are heading westbound on 140th and you stop at the stop sign you can not see past a white four runner on the corner 142nd facing northbound. There is not enough room to see oncoming traffic (heading northbound and they can not see crossing traffic coming westbound). Please make this a no parking area as there are many accidents at this intersection and it is a hazard to all citizens driving. Thank you

I agree with the safety concerns about this particular intersection. We drive through this intersection almost daily heading both westbound and eastbound on 140th, and the line of sight is terrible looking both north and south and incredibly dangerous. It is a "check 3 times each direction, hold your breath, and accelerate as quickly as possible" scenario, and hope that there isn't a car coming from 42nd that you can't see.
I do not think that a 4-way stop is the solution here, as during certain times of the day (especially school start/end and bus pickup and dropoff), it would cause the span from 144th to 140th on 42nd Ave S to become incredibly congested (it's bad enough as is). Perhaps signs could be posted in all directions from this intersection outlawing parking within a certain distance from the corners.

Just drove through this intersection today (heading west on 140th and turning R onto 42nd), and was nearly hit by a car heading N on 42nd because I could not see oncoming traffic and they could not see me. Slammed on my brakes and the car had to go around me because I was already in the intersection.
Tukwila REALLY needs to do something about this intersection. It is incredibly unsafe.

Can you provide an updated status on this issue? I've seen this intersection mentioned in no less than 10 independent posts/ issues (some speeding/traffic and some parking) in the last few months; this issue was tagged as "under review" 3.5 months ago (and opened 8 months ago).

Your request regarding a traffic signal/traffic sign has been closed.
The work is complete and signs are posted. Please allow a few days before the PD enforces the prohibition.
