Spruce Drive - Torrington

People use Spruce Drive as a cut through to avoid the traffic on Winsted Road. They speed down the road and there ends up being too much traffic on a back road that has many elderly residents, young children, and people trying to walk their dogs or take a walk. This is a nice neighborhood and we should not have to worry about people speeding down our road to take a shortcut. I hope the police do something about this.

I'd be interested to know if you've spoken to the police as I have, several times. They know this is a problem and their excuse for being unable to control it is that it is a problem all over Torrington residential areas. They refuse to consider solutions such as stop signs at side streets off these areas, speed bumps, changing the use of the street to one-way traffic. I was told the stop sign solution was not an option several years ago, but not too long after I noticed that the city placed a stop sign on Norwood Street where Pulaski Street enters it. If it could be done there, why not elsewhere? Norwood is not nearly as long as the street I expressed concern about, so what made that area so special. Let's face it: stop signs are more than likely the least expensive solution to this problem if your street has another that runs into it. People would be forced to slow down, stop, and not be able to get up to the speeds that they are now traveling down these neighborhood streets. Simple solution, but no one is listening.

Need signs at intersections with triggered traffic lights Open

Litchfield St. - Torrington

There needs to be a sign at intersections with underground triggered traffic lights telling people to pull up to the stop line to trigger the lights - I don't know how many times I have sat behind people who do not have a clue and can sit there for 15+ minutes while people are beeping and inching forward to try to get them to move forward one foot so the light will change!

OMG at LaMonica's I sat behind someone for literally 10 minutes before I got out of my car to politely tell her to move, essentially I scared the @#$% out of her . But HELLO people, after abt 5 minutes of dead time at a light please assume there has to be some problem and proceed with caution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Light at Stop and Shop/Torringford Fair Open

Route 183 And Torringford Fair Shopping Center - Torrington

The timing on the light at the intersection of Route183 and Price Chopper/Stop and Shop needs to be adjusted.
Every time a car needs to exit one of those two shopping centers, Route 183 gets a red light and the traffic is backing up to East Main.

Yes and the obvious answer is to demolish the Gryniuk Memorial Price Chopper/WalMart eyesore stripmall and the new Stop and Shop/Torrington "Fair" eyesore stripmall. Return the intersection to it's former simplistic glory. Or, you can just stop your STUPID complaining because you losers brought this upon yourselves.

traffic light needed Open

222-280 Kennedy Dr Torrington, CT 06790, USA - Torringford

too many people coming and going from commercial Blvd. Traffic light would help safety.

If we put traffic light everywhere in this town I would have to travel past 7 lights just to go down Kennedy Drive and go to Big Y or Loews. That is more light per mile then East Main Street.

How about there is mandatory driver retraining. It's been 22 years since I got my license, so many laws have changed since then, like the walk signals, the some people need to be retrained and updated.

Exiting Greenridge Rd on to E. Main St Open

Greenridge Rd Torrington Ct - Torrington

This has always been hazardous, but now with Stop & Shop going to open, traffic is already heavy and will become in worse. It is nearly impossible to make a left at times. Cars go well above the speed limit. We desperately need a light before someone seriously gets injured

The caution light that is there is horrible and does nothing. The speed that people are going when they hit that caution light is about 55 mph. When sitting on East Main and trying to turn left into Greenridge. I have had people slamming on their brakes not to hit me from the rear because they are going to fast and not paying attention to what's going on. There is a lot of traffic turning into Greenridge and out of Greenridge not only because of the residents. But, because of the walk-in and the other businesses that are in that complex. Someone is going ti get killed there and something has to be done very soon. I know that this is a State issue and not a town issue. But, please Mr. Mayor. Fight hard to save some lives and put a light there!

945-951 Litchfield St Torrington, CT 06790, USA - Torrington

Drivers turning left from Wyoming Ave. onto Litchfield St. cannot see oncoming traffic headed towards RT 202. The grade of the road is the primary issue. Rate of speed is also a factor. If you drive a small car this increases the danger dramatically.

Potholes, uneven patches, dangerous to kids and cars; high traffic area Open

25 Scoville St Torrington, CT 06790, USA - Torrington

I cannot remember the last time our street was paved and I have lived here for 10 years. The patches hold for only a short time. There are so many holes I'm afraid I will damange my car. Water cascades past the drains creating yet another hazard. Debris (rocks, etc.) fill the street. I will not let my grandson ride his bike due the treacherous road conditions.

How about a light at the end of Major Besse Drive? Open

Major Besse Drive torrington, ct - Burrville

There is a "no left turn" sign at the end of Major Besse Drive out of THS so all vehicles must use the city owned lower parking lot as a throughway if they need to turn left onto Winthrop Street. This lot is usually full with cars from OWTS students who drive and have no where to park at their school, parents picking up their children, kids who are using the skate park, the many school buses and vans and those who just socialize after school.
At dismissal time this lot is a nightmare to venture through.
And not to mention if there was ever an emergency and an evacuation was in order, there would be close to gridlock conditions in this area.
A traffic light at the end of the driveway would remedy the situation and create a safer envirnment.
The lower parking lot could still be used as an exit but it would be less congested.
This light would also help with speeders going through a school zone.

Wonderful idea!......There has been so many close calls over the years in that parking lot. It's only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured.

a light here would be TERRIBLE -- making traffic worse in the area. BUT adjusting the timing of the lights by the mobil, police station, and migeon ave and n. elm would help........

Its awful to turn out of the development by red mtn ave.

(a light at Eagle would really mess those streets up!)
