I agree with my good neighbor; something must be done soon.

Is anything being done about this danerous traffic situation? If a Traffic Light is too costly can Stop Signs be installed along this stretch of Pond Path?

I know this might be a very unpopular suggestion, but "traffic circles" do a great job of calming traffic (to "horse and buggy" speeds) while keeping the traffic moving (with "Yield" signs and not "Stop" signs).

The idea here is not to force traffic to completely stop at a stop sign or a traffic signal (everyone hates waiting 45 seconds at a red light with no cross traffic). Installing a traffic circle would add sidewalks, and would make the high speed traffic on Pond Path slow to about 5-10 mph while drivers "self-regulate" their driving. Sort of like what happens during a power outage, drivers suddenly become more friendly and help each other navigate the dead traffic signals.

Something similar was installed in Huntington. If you go to Google Maps and type "Clinton Ave & Gerard St Huntington, NY 11743" you can view what they did. It is not a perfect solution, but the more I think about it, the more I think this is what we need. It would also add those sidewalks and allow the folks who live on Pond Path to pull out of their driveways without taking their lives in their hands.

Mull it over, I think this is what we need.

I think a three way stop sign would do the trick on Pond Path/Mark Tree as well as another stop sign by Daremy Ln/Mark Tree Rd. With the elementary school down the road and all the new homes in the area...we need to control the traffic better.

The town needs to get off the dime here and fix this before someone is injured or killed, leaving us with a tremendous liability due to the towns' inability or ineffectiveness in dealing with this much reported situation...
