  Other than "they ignored the sign", what is the issue? I don't break the rule, but I've never seen it cause an accident or even come close. As long as people are seeing no traffic on main street, to me it is the rule that's the problem. Getting additional cars off the bridge and out of the rt 8/34 intersection is a benefit.
  
  The bigger issue I see is the right turn only lane by tailgator's driveway. The intersection is wide enough for there to be both a right turn only lane and a second straight lane from main to 34 - some people do that now and create a second lane of straight traffic. As busy as that intersection is, it's amazing how rare accidents there are...

Why do you bother? Open

1 Elizabeth Street derby, ct - Derby

You guys think that these complaints actually go some place. The truth is they stay online. Nobody who can resolve them actually looks at them. They make money via advertising other tahn that nobody cares about your complaint. Report it the proper way to the right people if you want something done.

  I realized this prior to this post. Which is why I have stopped posting on here. I bring up issues in more public places now.

  I am glad that people are bringing their complaints directly to the proper authority (town road = local PD, state road = DOT maintenance District), but be assured that the Valley Region monitors this site with regularity and refers issues to proper authorities for action. We have resolved a number of issues originally raised on this site.
  Not all suggestions/concerns posted are legitimate, some result from a misunderstanding of all the factors involved and they may not be resolved to your satisfaction, but they are reviewed and action taken if there is an actual problem. Many complaints require reconstruction of the roadway and can take a few years to get funded and move through design and construction.
  Having said the above, you are correct this site is designed to gain advertising revenue and complaints/concerned are best addressed directly to the proper authority.

Speeding like crazy for years and years Open

34-42 Seymour Ave Derby, CT 06418, USA - Derby

I don't get it - it's posted 25 in a residential neighborhood. But, people treat this like a highway doing 50 a lot of the time. What violators they are and it's only 3 blocks from stop sign to signal. They just floor it. If Derby wanted to make some $ they could hand out speeding tickets all day here parked over on 9th St and watch with eyes open. Sheesh 2 elementary schools around here too. Wake up please. Fri and Sat nights are really out of control sometimes in the summer.

  I hope that the Police enforce the limit on this road, it's not Route 8 anymore!
  But the city wouldn't make any money from it; speeding tickets are State summonses, therefore all money goes to the State of CT.

- need new laws - give cities the $ = incentive (Guest)
  
  I see. So that is why everyone speeds all the time in CT. There is no incentive for local police to hand out speeding tickets. The $ just goes to the state. I think other states handle this differently and towns do make $ and speeding is not out of control in their town. I think the people of CT should really think about changing this. What are the advantages to doing it the CT way? I can think of one big disadvantage and that is speeders get away with it - in the past, present and future.

  This has been bothering me too, not quite for years, but for many months now. And you might want to get the location right on the map when you post... The damaged guardrail is completely detached and over 15 feet is crushed to the ground. See picture for proper location.

speeding Open

Olivia St (One-Way) Derby, CT 06418, USA - Derby

cars going down olivia do not obey the speed limit. they go anywhere from 40 - 55mph, there are alot of kids playing and riding their bikes, and a car going that fast will not have a chance to stop, also there have been alot of cars that are going down the wrong way, i wonder if people can actually read signs. this problem really needs to be fixed before its too late for a child. remember schools out and summer is here.

  This comment is 100 percent dead on. And, everyone ignores the stop signs at Fifth and Olivia . . . people blow right through it. There's a public pool there and tons of little kids.

  The intesection of Olivia and Cottage is just an accident waiting to happen. Nobody stops there. There are frequently kids skateboarding at that corner and residents walk in the middle of the street on the upper part of Cottage. Would be nice to have more of a police presence on Olivia, too, before it turns into another Hawkins St.

Exit 15 congestion Open

12 Main St Derby, CT 06418, USA - Derby

A very simple solution to some of the congestion at rt8 southbound exit 15. There are three lanes at the end of the ramp, 1 left 1 straight and 1 right. The center straight lane can be made a right turn also, providing 2 turning lanes. Many drivers get in the center straight lane and turn right anyway, while the drivers following the law are waiting in the right lane. I don't know why this was never done????

2010-07-01 · Reported by pete (Guest) · Share · Flag Flagged

  Agreed - there is another issue about this where the person is complaining about people turning right from the center lane saying "that it is clearly marked" as a straight only lane, which is not accurate. The only indication is a worn out pavement marking, which would not even be visible with snow on the ground.
  
  The traffic coming out of Home Depot and the train station now has a protected left turn period when the light turns green that didn't always exist - which could have been the original reason. It makes a huge deal of sense (since there is no longer conflicting traffic) to make the intersection symmetrical to the one on the other side with two lanes turning right.
  
  One issue is that when the light turns green, it needs to be synced so that the intersection isn't still clogged with left turners, otherwise the "right turn from center lane" people will have nowhere to go.
