I agree something has to be done but there's no room for a round-about. A stop sign would be the best solution (providing people actually stop).

Wrong. They ran a traffic study that is available on the town's website. The only cars that have issue are those taking a left from Carr onto Northern Pines heading south. Otherwise, the report clearly shows that no one waits. 15 minutes?? Come on. I grew up right near that intersection. Taking a right up NP from Carr is easy as I do it everyday. Taking a left off NP from the north onto Carr is easy to with the left hand lane available.

If a traffic light is needed on Carr Road, it should go on the other end at Jones and Carr. That is where you could wait for 15 minutes to make a left.

I navigate this intersection 3-4 times a day, at various times, including rush hour and non-peek times, and even at its worst, I have had to wait maybe 2 minutes, TOPS! The intersection is fine, whether you are turning left or right onto Northern Pines. The intersection that is getting more congested is the other end of Carr Road, when you are trying to turn left onto Jones Road. With all the activity at Gavin Park and the location of the elementary school, that intersection gets really busy in the warmer months and that is where you can wait a while to turn.

I think the light should be at Carr & Jones also. They made the school zone longer to slow people down, but this makes the traffic even more congested. Traffic lights with sensors based on traffic flow will make waiting times less, and will be safer for those who want to
walk or bike down Jones Road. Crossing the street on foot at Jones & Carr is almost impossible.

The problem at corner of Jones and Carr roads isn't traffic flow, it's cars lining up to drop off or pick up students. Why are they not taking the bus?

As a resident of Carr Road for the past 6 years I have witnessed the traffic increase 10 fold. There needs to be a traffic light and the speed limit reduced to 30 mph.

I have witnessed several traffic studies occurring at the intersection and nothing seem to be done with the information gathered.

Cars and motorcycles also seem to think that Carr Road is a drag strip. Vehicles fly up and down Carr Road all day and it is only a matter of time untill there is a serious accident or someone is hit by killed.

I absolutely agree! I have been trying to get a light at that corner for over a year.I saw a bad accident there and the police were not called.Thet knew nothing about it.Perhaps when the new elections are here; we can vote for a board that listens to our pleas.I have given you loads of signatures on a petition and still no action.I have had one call back from the Wilton Town Board and I received excuses and vague promises. Is the board waiting for a very bad accident to happen?

Interesting that this is being framed as a convenience issue and not a safety issue. The corner of Carr Road and Northern Pines is dangerous for several reasons: Northern Pines has a significant curve there; cars can exit McGregor Links from the drive closest to Carr Road; drivers heading south on NP can't see driveways on left after the turn; because there are two lanes at the end of Carr Road, drivers are forced to creep out into the road leaving northbound drivers very little leeway from cars heading south; posted speed limit is 40 mph, too high for all of these reasons. There is a solution: lower the speed limit, ask the golf course to make their loop road one way, and ask drivers to be more patient while waiting. Fat chance!
Wouldn't want to inconvenience anyone.

If you've waiting 15 minutes at that intersection, then you must be taking a nap. Traffic has increased, but realistically, you haven't waited to turn left for longer than the time of a traffic red light more than a few times.

There are 4 ways of traffic there, and only 1 may have a moment wait. Relax, this isn't the city. You may also get stuck behind a tractor.

An alternate route is using Smith Bridge Rd a little farther up on Jones.

"Stopwhining" gets it! What's the big rush?

"stopwhinning" Im guessing that you are not resident within this area that WE are trying to get fixed. If you were then you would realize that your solution to go down Smith bridge road is not a fix to the problem. That way is just as bad. I live on Northern Pines and have to use this intersection everyday. It's not so much of the time that you sit there waiting but the danger of trying to get thru there.

Wiltondad again. I have driven this intersection for ove 20 years. I grew up on Elizabeth lane. This intersection has NO issues. The right hand turn lane solved it all. If u pay attention, get off the cell phone, use the eyes god gave u, you'll be fine. My go people. Wilton doesn't need a light here. Do we need to coddle all of you like children are today??? Learn to drive and be aware.

My family has has mutiple near misses at this intersection. A light needs to be in place before this becomes tragic.

My family just moved away from Wilton because of dangerous intersections like this. I got hit by a car here because the guy shot out without enough time.

put in a roundabout it works in malta!! it takes little time to get used to,but it works!

Inaction. Isn't needed, won't happen.
