First sentence above should end with "...no secret."

And when I drive on Lovett I am routinely tail-gated. I was also shocked to see the speed limit had been raised to 35.

The traffic on both Lovett and S. Aycock is terrible....it is like a superhighway dangerous we need relief

I don't agree with the speed bump recommendation, but would suggest putting up the speed limit detection signs that show your speed. Also setting up actual speed traps & consistently issuing tickets to speeders.

Work order number 3206716 has been created. Thank you.

Lovett St is a law suit waiting to happen. While the city can't be responsible for a drivers behavior they should be held responsible for doing nothing and allowing it to continue. I too have been tailgated and even had drivers blow their horn at me as I turn into my driveway. There are too many families on this road with children, toddlers to teens, for the city to sit back and do nothing. You can't ride a bike, walk down the street, walk the dogs or allow children to play in the front yard for fear of being hit by a speeding vehicle, both cars and large trucks. There are school bus stops within a few houses of mine and multiple children have to walk down the street to get to their houses. There are no crossing signs, crosswalks, children playing or any other means posted to make drivers aware they are in a RESIDENTIAL neighborhood.

Radar and speed enforcement are only effective as long as they're in place and, even then, only when they're unseen. I am more than open to allowing unmarked cars use my driveway to run radar. A marked car only attracts attention for people to slow down and rubber neck which then renders an enforcement campaign ineffective. I work from home quite often and can tell you, by the time most cars reach my house, they are well over the posted speed limit. I don't care how the issue is fixed as long as it is fixed.

We have also submitted a request to engineering, work order %233206806

I often fear that someone will reared me as I pull into my driveway. As a mother, and a teacher at Hope Academy serious efforts need to be made to slow down traffic before a child gets hurt.

It would be helpful if they made the green light of the left turn turn lane coming off of north bound Freeman Mill Road shorter and make the red longer so as to limit the amount of vehicles that come down Lovett Street at one time. It also might discourage people from using Lovett Street because it will take longer for them to make that turn. Also, the speed limit should probably be lowered to 25 mph to reflect that it's a residential street.

I dont even let my 13 year old walk down aycock. Thats a shame. This is a neighborhood. Not a highway. I agree with this problem 100%.

New markings were install after GDOT met with resident from the neighborhood at their request and markings were a result. Speed studies were conducted at various locations along Lovett and Aycock. Locations are selected to get the best representations of travel speeds on the street. Lovett street is a Collector street. We also left a voicemail for the person who originally reported this. If you wish to discuss this further, you may want to talk to the engineer in GDOT, Noland Tipton. He can be reached by calling 373-4368. Thank you.

Lovett Street is RESIDENTIAL street. The City turned it into a collector Street after the houses were built.

The Greater Glenwood Neighborhood Association voted on recommendations to the City regarding the traffic on Lovett and S. Aycock. The GGNA' s recommendations included changing the timing of the lights on both Freeman Mi ll Road and W. Lee Street to limit the numbers of cars going through at the same time, an additional stop sign or traffic light, a 25 mile per hour speed limit on both streets and more. The city did put a solid white line on the side of the road claiming it would slow down traffic which has had zero affect. They put up speed limit signs which GGNA had recommended since there were none, but they did not reduce the speed limit. GGNA asked for signs directing people to Colisem Blvd instead of Aycock to get to I40 which were put up on the corner of S Aycock and Lee but were removed again shortly thereafter. It is treacherous to get our of one's driveway or try to cross the street on foot.

And none of the recommendations matter nor will they ever be put in place because UNCG won't get behind what the residents want until UNCG can control all the property. Plus, Lovett St and it's residents aren't part of Old Irving Park.

Here are a few of the affects the white designated parking lines have had:
1 - The ice cream truck now drives slowly in that lane daily.
2 - The FEW people who understand what the white parking line is for and use it are yelled at regularly by residents if they happen to park in front of a residents house. I personally have used it when having work done on my home and a resident told me I had to move my car from in front of her home. I quickly educated her on public parking and left the car where it was.
3 - Cars driving down the opposite side of Lovett St now have the freedom to drive at an increased rate of speed because there a no longer any cars blocking the lane.

Since my original post regarding the speeding on Lovett there has been NO speed enforcement, no checkpoints and no increased patrols even though I was called and told these were the next steps.

We have serious traffic problems on South Aycock going toward Lovett St. Traffic gets heavier each day with as many as 21 cars coming through one green light on Gate City Blvd. A sign on a telephone pole at the corner of Gate City Blvd. and South Aycock Street, showing a need for a right turn to go to Coliseum Blvd. and on to Freeman Mill Rd. and I-40 would be one way to direct traffic away from Aycock and Lovett. I remember seeing such a sign not too long ago, but it disappeared and I can't imagine why. Just last Saturday we had another minor car accident on S. Aycock and Holbrook St. We have had a number of accidents here over the past year. Let's get some help from those in charge of traffic control before, NOT
after, we have a fatal accident here.

Work order 3353201 has been created. Thank you.

The traffic issue on S Aycock and Lovett continues to get worse. Seven cars used to be able to get through the light on the corner of S Aycock and Gate City Blvd, now at least 12 cars get through and with the same amount coming from Freeman Mill Rd there is often 24-26 cars going by before one can get out of their driveway. We need a slower speed limit, we need an additional stop sign. There are many pedestrians including children and pets on these streets. We continue to need some relief from speeders and traffic.

We are a bit confused about what you want us to address. Are you asking for changes at S Aycock & Lovettt, or at Gate City Blvd or Freeman Mill or somewhere else? Your help is appreciated.

We need relief from both Freeman Mill on to Lovett and from Gate City Blvd on to S. Aycock. There are too many cars getting through each light which causes alot of traffic going in both directions at the same time. We were told by DOT that we did not have enough traffic for an additional traffic light on S. Aycock and we had too much traffic for an additional Stop sign. It is scary to try to cross the street as the cars aregoing too fast from both directions. It used to be cars came from one direction and then they came from the other direction. Not they come in greater numbers from both directions at the same time like a highway. Speed limit should be 25 all the way from Freeman Mill to Gate City. This is a residential street with children, animals, elderly, college students skate boarding on the street, bicycles etc.

Thank you - we hear your concerns. Can you please tell me specifically what you are requesting, and at what locations? Thanks for your help

We need speed bumps at both ends of Lovett. There are two schools at one end of Lovett, the DMV with inexperienced drivers taking driver's tests at the other and STILL no sidewalks. This isn't the safest neighborhood to walk or drive in but the city could help by keeping this from being a long straightaway where motorcycles and cars race late at night.

Thank you for contacting the City of Greensboro. The City does not install speed bumps on City streets. If you witness unsafe driving such as racing please notify the Police at 336-373-2222 or, if it is an emergency, 9-1-1. I hope that this is helpful to you.
