    I wrote about this before and it's only worse now. The traffic light timing going from Broad to Front street is very frustrating and causes delays. I get a minimum of 5 red lights traveling this stretch every morning.
    The stupidest delay is at the light at the Whitman plaza. When you are stopped for a red light there the light at 4th street is green. As soon as the light at the plaza entrance turns green the light at 4th street (1/4 of a block away) turns red. Really? I just take my foot off the brake and coast up to the next light. Please, someone own this issue, do a study and take of this.. Thanks

    South bound Broad Street at Packer Avenue. The right lane is supposed to be for a right turn only onto Packer Ave to go towards 15th. There is a sign but it is usually ignored. The sign is very small, there are no arrows painted in the street. If you are familiar with the intersection and correctly go straight from the second lane attempting to enter the WWB on ramp and someone in the right lane ignores or does not see the "Must Turn Right" sign there is always a 'situation' where aggressive driving is the result. Not only should there be better signage but I would love to see a stepped up enforcement of this. I've witnessed a few patrol cars waiting for the light to change at that intersection who just ignore what happens.

    The Ongoing PGW construction has been wreaking havoc on Porter Street from Broad to 10th. This is no secret. Many spots along here are horrible. This we all know but the hole at the end of the 2400 block of Clarion where it meets Porter will be totally undermined in the next week.

    Going from 13th St to Front St on Oregon Ave to get on I95 you will catch a minimum of 4 red lights even at 5:00 AM.
    There is no reason for this especially at this time of day when there are no other cars around. The light timing needs to be adjusted.
