Description
there is a three way stop @ the intersection of e 9th st + hawkins st in derby. SEVERAL cars speed through all the stop signs and it's extremely dangerous. sometimes cops park on francis st but not frequently enough. they would probably catch some other illegal activities if they patroled the area more often.....

Olivia is one way, away from 9th street. 9th street itself has no purpose as a through street. I would guess a traffic study would show fewer than 10 cars per hour go north on 9th towards Hawkins.
There is no danger here and no other visual obstruction to justify a stop sign. This has all the hallmarks of an inappropriate use of a stop sign for "traffic quieting" in response to a vague complaint about too much traffic or speeding.
I would support removing the stop signs on Hawkins and let the police work on other more important things, like the selling of drugs in the area. No stop sign, no violators - problem solved.
