Thanks for reporting this issue to Gilbert 311! This request has been recatergorized for our Traffic Engineering Department.

Thank you. I’m hoping something gets done for one of those intersections.

Yes this whole Frye road between williamsfield and Recker has gotten insane... we are sometimes worried walking on the sidewalk with the cars flying!!!

We open one way they tell us to open another way. Sounds like our safety is reactive not proative.

Yep I see this reported several times daily and just seems to dismissed

So how many crashes is it going to take before the "Engineering" dept does something? Seriously, this is getting ridiculous. We have had 2 people crash through a wall, one person crash through the light post, one person crash through the curb and the list goes on...all because of speeding.

As stated previously, this information has been passed on to our patrol officers. The Traffic Engineering Request was sent because of the signage/speed bump request.

Dear 311 User -

We are currently reviewing the data collected recently, we will be posting that information soon.

Thank you for your continued patience.

Dear 311 Users -
Thank you for bringing your concern to our attention at Frye Road and Hansen Drive. We reviewed your concern for a 4-way stop at the intersection of Frye Road and Hansen Drive and speeding along Frye Road.

Guidance from the national standards outlined in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), Federal Highway Administration (2009, updated 2012) was used to determine the appropriate traffic control for the intersection of Frye Road and Hansen Drive. Based on review of the traffic volumes, crash history, and other consideration, the Town of Gilbert’s Traffic group recommendation is for the existing traffic configuration to remain and not provide an All-Way Stop at this location.

Improper or unjustified all-way stop intersections can result in one or more of the following disadvantages:
A. Increase delay,
B. Excessive disobedience of the all-way stop,
C. Increased use of less adequate routes as road users attempt to avoid the all-way
stop and
D. Increases in the frequency of collisions (especially rear-end collisions).

To address the left turn concerns on Frye Road it is recommended to re-stripe Frye road to include a left turn lane at the intersection of Frye Road and Hansen Road. Frye Road is scheduled for pavement resurfacing next finical year (July 2021 to June 2022) and the modifications to add the left turn lanes on Frye Road will be incorporated at that time.

In addition to the all-way stop consideration, the concern for speeding along Frye Road was investigated. The Town of Gilbert took speed counts along Frye Road. After reviewing the results of the speed counts, driver feedback signs are recommended and will be installed along Frye Road. Per the Town of Gilbert’s Policy, speed humps are not allowed on collector streets (Frye Road) and in addition the speeds collected did not meet the 85 percentile speed needed per the speed hump policy to install.

Let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns.

I sure hope we will soon see police on these streets enforcing the speed limit!

Dear 311 -

Gilbert PD has been notified to patrol for enforcement of the speed limit.

Traffic Engineering

Can I request the speeding count be re done ? The only speed strip I saw was on Hanse, and some jerk pulled it up and tossed it in the bushes.

The speed strip needs to be placed on Frye.

Dear 311 -

The Tow was made aware of the tube that came up, the tube was reset and we received the required data to review.

It was only down for three days!

Looked at the detailed report and didn’t see where speed was even studied.... I guess only those that walk and have children in the neighborhood care about our safety. I know a bike lane sign was also taken out by a car in the last few months down by the church. Is it really going to take someone being killed to do something on this road! It has gotten so much worse since the speed change on williamsfield. I am thinking people are using Frye to bypass williamsfield/ recker interchange!

Dear 311 User-

Speed feedback signs will be placed on E. Frye Rd.

Traffic Engineering
