City Street Signs ArchivedBridge St & Washington St Salem, MA, 01970, USA - City of SalemSign stating Right Turn on Red After Stop is located behind tree which can’t be seen, in addition, all drivers are looking left and never see the sign.
Sign should be placed on left side island on traffic light pole or similar spot. In state, out of state, traffic backs up down Bridge St because everyone stops at red light, fails to see that turn is allowed. -

Other - City Issues Archived9 Peabody Street Salem, MA, 01970, USA - City of SalemPeabody St, 3rd request, over 14 pot holes, prior requests were not handled/repaired. Every winter street becomes a war zone of pot hole after pot hole. City seems reluctant to timely repair, every year. Asphalt is only 2inches thick over cobblestones, which easily creates multiple pot holes. Remove cobblestones, install a tamped down base and repave... Fixed.

Traffic Signals Archived1-99 Ward St Salem, MA, 01970, USA - City of SalemIn the past week I have been on Harbor St at the intersection with Lafayette waiting and waiting for the light to turn green. The green light for Layfayette is either extremely long, or is stuck on green meaning Harbor never gets the green light. Each time, cars in front of me, and the rest of us in line cautiously cross the intersection on a red light because it doesn’t seem to ever change to green.

Street/Roadway Lighting Issues ArchivedWilson St Salem, MA, 01970, USA - City of SalemSo many people are upset, and I agree, with the Wilson Street bike lane. What no one has done is to present a solution aside from abandoning the entire project.
My solution, take away the poles and add a rumble strip, EXACTLY AS YOU DID ON FORT AVENUE WHICH WORKS INCREDIBLY WELL, without giving drivers the sense of being squeezed in together. This solves the emergency vehicle needing to pass, the snowplows ripping or damaging the poles, while still providing the driver with a warning system that they are off the road.
And yes, just today I almost got sideswiped by a landscapers truck and trailer crossing the double line into my lane. Scary... -

Street/Roadway Lighting Issues Archived15 Summer St Salem, MA, 01970, USA - City of SalemMy comment is about the new roundabout at Chestnut, Summer, and North streets. Intersection is too small for trolleys, buses, trucks to navigate around without hitting pilons. In addition, cars Do Not yield coming from North st to the intersection, nor from the downtown side, they barrel right through.
A likely fix, make the intersection a 4 way stop. -
City Street Signs Archived21 Summer St Salem, MA, 01970, USA - City of SalemThere is a No Parking sign that is bent/leaning into the street. It doesn’t affect cars, but truck, bus, and trolley mirrors hit this sign enough and the mirrors never win the battle. If it could be bent back in line with the sidewalk, it would be appreciated.
