  • Pedestrian Crossing West Hyattsville, MD - Ward 5
    At the intersection of Ager Rd and Hamilton Street (right in front of the KFC) there is a "pocket" for cars making the right turn from Hamilton to Ager. Most drivers treat as an invitation to accelerate into the turn, ignoring the fact that pedestrians crossing Ager Road (many either going to or coming from the West Hyattsville Metro Station) have the right of way.
    While there is a YIELD sign advising motorists making the right to yield to traffic on Ager Road. there should be a sign advising motorists to yield to pedestrians attempting to cross Ager Road.
    The exisence of this dedicated "right tun pocket" is a big part of the problem. If it did not exist I am sure motorists would exercise more caution in yielding to pedestrians.
  • 6401–6499 Sentinel Dr Hyattsville 20782, United States - Ward 3
    Please install a crosswalk at Editors Park Drive and Sentinel Ave. The absence of a crosswalk creates a hazard for residents of the area AND school children attending Nicholas Orem. Cars are reluctant to stop for pedestrians.
  • 42nd Ave & Oliver St Hyattsville, MD, 20781, USA - Ward 1

    I previously requested a stop sign due to the dangerous situation at this intersection (Request # 15367540). The previous request was rejected saying I needed a petition with 60 percent of block residents before the city would even consider it.

    Another resident asked about whether all units in the adjoining apartment buildings count toward the population of the block for the purposes of such a petition and got no response.

    Near crashes with cars and pedestrians continue to occur routinely, especially around school traffic.

    This morning there was a crash involving a school bus at this intersection.

    I understand the need to carefully consider traffic calming options, but it seems nonsensical to just let crashes keep happening until citizens themselves organize a petition. A stop sign would have safety benefits here and not harm anyone. Almost every other intersection on 42nd has a four-way stop. It is implausible that this intersection needs special study before making it like all the others.

    Is the government unable to put up a stop sign on its own without waiting for an official petition with ambiguous requirements? If the residents' desire for a stop sign must be submitted through a special petition, can the government not act on its own desire to fix this situation?

    There is a sinkhole forming on Hamilton street. This is a location that sinkholes have formed in the past (the last sinkhole was 3 or so years ago). Sinkhole is in the middle of the street about 30 - 35 feet before the intersection of Hamilton and 41st Ave

    Last night (Friday, November 6, 2020), as well as on other occasions, people on ATVs have been speeding / racing on Sentinel St. between Toledo Terrace and Editors Park Drive. Needless to say this is incredibly dangerous. It would be much appreciated if the city would install speed humps. Conduct a study if need be, but please make Sentinel safer for Hyattsville residents.
