Radar speed sign not working Thursday evening.

Radar speed sign not working.

School speed limit sign still not working.
And help or response here would be appreciated.

Public Works examined the radar and found a loose connection.

Is still not working this evening.
Thank you.

Radar speed sign not working Tuesday morning.

The minimally sized school zone signs at each end of the street on utility poles are not noticed by drivers. The intersection of Main Street is so busy with the gas station and the convenience store, nobody is looking up on the utility pole to notice that small sign.

This radar sign is the only real traffic enforcement for this Elementary School Zone. Cars continuously race down this street at speeds far exceeding the 20 mile an hour school zone limit. Many well over 35 MPH.

This must have been an expensive item purchased by the taxpayers. It would be nice to have the town get our money's worth out of it.

Thank you for the SeeClickFix submission. The police department and DPW are working to address the power/battery issue causing the sign not to work. Thank you for your patience.

Any update on getting this item repaired?

Traffic is still crazy on this stretch of road. We need all the traffic enforcement we can get in this heavily traveled, excessive speeding school zone.

Thanks.

The sign has not been working for the last two days.

This sign is still not working. Maybe one or two hours on a bright sunny afternoon it runs. All other times it does not work.

Cars are still speeding down this street most of the day. The police have showed up on a few occasions and issued a few tickets. But when the police are present the cars are not speeding.

They cannot be expected to patrol this poorly marked section of street. Much better signage needs to be in place.

The minimal school sign on the Main Street end is high up on a pole. It is very close to the corner where there are two entrances to a gas station on one side, and two entrances to a convenience store on the other side. Nobody rounding is corner is looking high up on the pole to see that small sign that says "School"

The town has responded in the past that they felt this sign was "adequate". Considering the continued problem with speeding here, something more is needed.

The safety of the residents and schoolchildren in this area should be taken seriously by the town. So far, it appears it has not.

Any update on getting this repaired?

Issue 5045802 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue.

Issue 4431089 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue.

Issue 4356559 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue.

This photo was taken today in the middle of the school day. 20 MPH SCHOOL ZONE.
What does the town's response that this is a duplicate issue mean?
The problems associated with this area are exactly the same same
as when they were posted multiple times over the last year.

The most common phrase at Stoneham government lunch? Please pass the baloney!"

Absolutely shameful with zero accountability or transparency on issues that just get passed along year to year...

Perhaps a 3-way stop sign set at Pine and Summer would slow drivers down on Summer... then we can all complain about the congestion, and the ignoring of the stop signs. How can anyone expect that this problem could be brought under control by the police department or the town? People don’t pay attention, and punishing some has zero affect on the rest.

A three way stop sign with solve the speeding issue, but would caused far too much congestion.

The town needs to install much better signage in this school zone. The only sign coming in from Main St. is at this intersection, where there is a pizza shop and convenience store on on one corner, and a gas station on the other corner.

Nobody is looking high up on the pole to see this small school sign at this busy intersection.

There is a same small sign at the other end of the street.

The radar speed sign at the corner of Pine Street malfunctions most of the day.

Any additional cars we can slow down with proper signage, would effect other traffic also.

I wanted to drive this route and take a look. Wednesday, mid morning. In just the few minutes that I stopped at the corner of Pine Street, I saw many cars well above the "20 mile-an-hour elementary school zone" limit.

I noticed that cars going the speed limit will have the sign read "thank you". Cars speeding, will have the sign read "slow down". It doesn't appear obvious to slow down to what.

Heading home Wednesday afternoon, the radar speed sign was not working. Heading into work mid-morning Thursday, the sign was not working.

Please keep reporting on this.

How about the novel idea of a random day each week a policeman is in his car to catch offenders at these "hot spots"? After a while people will have taken notice of Stoneham's reputation for ticketing and responding accordingly (like obeying the law or avoid the area entirely...), and the town gets more revenue. Seems like a win-win. Nah, seems to logical and what we would expect from our police force.

Any response or update on this story?

cool

I will tell you that it is not very convenient for all students. A lot of cars drive there and it’s just not possible to walk because the sign was removed there. I can not understand them. I can only understand what they give you the opportunity to use https://edubirdie.com/paraphrasing-tool and promote your knowledge. After all, the benefits of paraphrasing tool are very large. You can feel it on yourself.
