Daily traffic nightmare Open

314-370 Belden Hill Rd Wilton, CT 06897, USA - Wilton

Every morning between 8 and 9 there is a LONG backup of cars heading south on Belden Hill while there is little to no cross traffic on Wolfpit. Blinking light the rest of the day that could be green and red at peak hours only?

When traveling from Rt. 53/ Cedar Rd. north onto Rt. 106/ Hurlbutt St., there are a number of tress hanging over Chestnut Hill Rd. that make it impossible to see oncoming traffic.

Bad visibility - brush trimming needed Archived

158 New Canaan Rd Wilton, CT 06897, USA - Wilton

When the town (state?) did the usual grass trimming on the side of 106, they missed the area right at the intersection of Old Boston and New Canaan rd (106). Very hard to see traffic on 106 when pulling out of Old Boston. I'll give it a week. If they don't do it, I'll get out there!

  There is an easy solution to this. Leave the station lot at the north end, where the road meets Route 7 at a traffic light, opposite Route 102. Yes, you have to go a little north to turn south, but it's a heck of a lot safer.

Coming out of Cheesespring at the stop sign onto Drum Hill, there is a peach colored colonial house with hedges on the corner. The hedges block the visibility and drivers turning onto Drum Hill have difficulty seeing traffic coming from the right.

Road in Severe Disrepair Archived

177 Old Huckleberry Rd Wilton, CT 06897, USA - Wilton

Vast sections of Old Huckleberry Road are riddled with potholes and dangerous ice patches due to poor drainage. The road is in dire need of paving and should be widen in sections so two cars can pass safely. As is, the road is very unsafe for both cars and foot traffic. It is a pity to see the road in such condition as it is one of the most scenic roads in South Wilton.

Dangerous left turn onto Station Road Open

306-328 Danbury Rd Wilton, CT 06897, USA - Wilton

When Rte 7 was widened, it created a situation that encouraged drivers to go very fast on this stretch of the road. The stoplight to turn left onto Station Road is at a crest, and it is difficult to see traffic coming from the opposite direction. Some method to slow down traffic (another stop light) or a longer left arrow is needed.

Stoplight needs to be re-timed Open

Olmstead Hill Rd And Danbury Rd - Wilton

For some reason this intersection was changed to no turn on red.The traffic now backs up on Olmstead Hill and when the light turns green there isn't enough time for more than 5 or 6 cars to go through the light...A green arrow for the cars turning right would also be helpful.

Ridiculously Unnecessary Stop Sign Open

2-70 Riding Club Rd Wilton, CT 06897, USA - Wilton

A few years ago, the town decided to interrupt the flow of traffic on Olstead Hill Road to what is a relatively quiet dead-end road that intersects it (Riding Club Rd.). What back room politics caused this to happen I don't know, but it is absurd.

Need left turn signal at Rt 7 & Grumman Hill Rd (going south) Open

2 Grumman Hill Rd Wilton, CT 06897, USA - Wilton

While going on Rt. 7 South, there is no left turn signal light at the Grumman Hill Rd. intersection. This street leads to the Montessori School, so in the morning it is fairly well traveled. Turning left from Rt. 7 to Grumman Hill Road is very dangerous. A green arrow light during morning rush hour would be very much appreciated by those waiting to turn left at the light, as well as by commuters being congested into one lane because of those intending to turn left. Drivers with children in the car often take risks when jumping in to traffic to make a left turn since the traffic going in the northerly direction is unrelenting.

Drivers cut through parking lot Open

Caraluzzi Plaza Wilton, CT - Wilton

Many drivers, to avoid the red light at Route 7/107 intersection (since a right on red is no longer allowed), use Caraluzzi's parking lot as a cut through. In doing so, they drive as though they are still on a main road (too fast) with little to no regard (they are in a hurry) or cars pulling/in out of parking spaces and/or pedestrians. This lot is busy enough without this added traffic. The other issue with this lot is regarding those who completely ignore the "do not enter" sign at the entrance from Route 107 and exit from that location. The line of sight on Route 107 at that point is very limited so this is dangerous for drivers on 107.

Traffic light Unnecessary Open

Rt 33 And Old Ridgefield Rd - Wilton

The new traffic light when entering and exiting the center from Rt. 33 is causing a tremendous back up when leaving Wilton center. Where there never were more then 3 cars waiting to exit, there are now always 7 to 8 cars. This traffic light is totally unnecessary. Why was it installed?

Left turn arrow lasts 15 seconds Open

Intersection Of 33 & 57 - Wilton

When driving north on Route 33 from Westport to Wilton, the left turn traffic arrow at the intersection of Westport Road & Chestnut Hill Road lasts at most 15 seconds. It is impossible to make the turn in the alotted time if you are the second car in line,the car in front of you, which is usually not making the turn, has barely moved into the intersection when the arrow changes to orange leaving the second car with the red arrow preventing the turn. The green arrow timing must be adjusted so drivers can actually use it to make a left turn.

  This left turn signal does not even last 15 seconds - I counted it today and it lasts 5 seconds, not even one full car - it turns yellow as you go under the light. On a busy day at least 3 cars, if not more, should be able to turn left.

  Barely 5 seconds so if you (or the car in front of you) hesitate forget it. While the state is at it, how about adding an arrow at RT 33 and Newtown Turnpike? Ever try making a left at that intersection?

School Road/Rt. 7 Open

186-198 School Rd Wilton, CT 06897, USA - Wilton

Turning left from Rt. 7 N to School Road is dangerous. The green arrow light to turn left is not long enough. During school drop off & pick up hours traffic sometimes backs the whole way to Pimpewaug. Drivers are very aggressive because the opportunity to turn is so short. Please make this left arrrow stay green longer so children do not have to witness or be in an auto accident.

  Since this posting I have seen several accidents at this intersection. Not sure how serious, but police detour us around the High School which then creates dangerous situations due to the congestion between 7:15 & 7:50. Three school with teachers, parents, students & busses are all trying to navigate this poorly planned intersection...just wondering why it hasn't been addresssed.

The morning traffic on this road is averaging 55MPH and higher on the AM commute. There are children waiting for buses on this route. The couple of days that a police cruiser sat out there, there was a very NOTICEABLE reduction in the speed. I am unclear if this is a good use of our police resources??

Turn Signals Route 7/Route 107/Mountain Rd. Open

965-971 Danbury Rd Wilton, CT 06897, USA - Georgetown

Please stop changing the timing of these signals. It is very dangerous to NOT have the left turn signal from Rt. 7 onto Rt. 10, especially during commuting hours. This is a very high traffic area and should ALWAYS have a turn signal (only exception might be late at night). Also, the signal to turn left from 107 onto Rt 7 is VERY short while it appears that the turn from Mountain Rd (where there is hardly any traffic) is longer. Please make these signals more in line with the traffic in the area.

Inadequate sign Open

Belden Hill Rd Wilton, CT 06897, USA - Wilton

Going north on Belden Hill there is a stop sign to turn left on Drum Hill. There is also a warning sign that cautions that traffic from the left does no stop. The bigger problem is that traffic from the right also does not need to stop and it is harder to see traffic from the right coming. The sign should be updated to include both warnings.

  This is another good example of difficult road sign management. Some local drivers heading off Drum Hill to Belden going south put on their signal lights to alert drivers going the other way which can help. The site lines however for cars waiting to turn onto Drum Hill is a short one for traffic from either direction, and there is not enough room on the Belden to Drum Hill intersection for more than 4 cars at a time, the rest create back up's on Belden.The road sign issues have not kept up with the increase in traffic on our back roads and unfortunatly there is more traffic to come.

  I think the better solution is an "all way" stop. Any time there
  has to be a sign telling drivers that the intersection has some confusing aspect, that tells you it is not designed properly!

  Unfortunatly Wilton is filled with intersections that are confusing to say the least. The roads were built on cow and wagon paths so todays traffic was not an issue. Years ago someone came up with the idea of attaching a red and green reflector to a standard stop sign showing which intersection road had no stop sign. This was only known to some people in Wilton so it did nothing for out of town drivers and probably is not obvious to most people today. The other example of a 4 way intersection with a three way stop are Old Kings Highway, Borglum, and Old Boston. The all way stop sign is an excellent idea and should be looked into, especially when the sight lines are not conforming to the modern standards and posted speed limits.
