Beschreibung
The intersection of Charing Cross Rd and Hiller Dr is a dangerous intersection for pedestrians and vehicles. A 3 way stop sign would enhance safety and reduce collision risk. There are no speed limit signs within one-half mile of this intersection. Because Hiller Drive is fairly wide, vehicles frequently break the 25mph speed limit approaching the intersection, often at speeds of 40-50mph. Vehicles entering Hiller from Charing Cross are at risk of being t-boned by speeding Hiller traffic. Also, vehicles parked on Hiller obscure the view from vehicles entering Hiller from Charing Cross. So please install 3 way stop signs at this intersection and post speed limit signs on Hiller Dr closer to the intersection.

A three-way stop sign at that location would be very dangerous. One would never want cars to stop going up the hill. They could have a problem after stopping. The current stop sign is good enough.
If you are concerned about the speed, have Oakland enforce the speed limit. Stop signs should never be used to address other traffic issues. It makes them dangerous.

I totally agree with EWN's comment. I live on Hiller Drive between Charing Cross and Starview Drive. I can attest that both intersections are hazardous for drivers and pedestrians, and NEITHER have stop signs on HD itself. Both are blind spots for drivers and pedestrians trying to turn onto HD from those (and other) streets that feed onto HD, due to the steep curved hills and parked cars obscuring the views, and drivers on HD habitually pay NO attention to the posted speed limits as they exit from, or speed to enter, HWY 24. We need more speed limit signs, possible traffic humps, and definitely a 3-way stop at least at Charing Cross. Also at least one marked pedestrian crosswalk with flashing lights to protect pedestrians -- especially now, when people are at home all the time and walking in the neighborhood. A lot of children live here, as well as older people. If, as Diane writes, the City of Oakland is waiting for a fatality before doing anything, it may not have to wait long. Heaven forbid if that's actually the case.
