Is there any reason to put a stop sign here besides to help create accidents? There is no need for a stop sign in the middle of the new East Village Parkway.
Is the marker accurately placed? (at the corner of Maple, E Village, and Wabuda Place) or did someone plant a new stop sign further north on East Village Parkway? I'm confused, since the map marker is at the end of the E Village Parkway, not the "middle" (a recurring problem with the software not allowing you to control where the marker is actually placed)
If it is further North, I would like to know where it is before I can form an opinion - although I suspect I will support your concern about overuse of stop signs where there is no traffic hazard. These stop signs tend to be advocated by "traffic quieting" people who believe their plot of land gives them a veto over the property rights of the entire rest of their community. It's a not so subtle type of harassment of their newer neighbors for a variety of reasons. Hiding behind "we need to do this to protect the children" from some theoretical future calamity is a frequent tactic.
They completely changed the intersection from what is pictured. It went from a slight curve of the road and an entrance to Wabuda to becoming a three way stop. It is East Village Road but we have been calling it East Village Parkway because it is almost twice as wide as it was. The road was never a problem except for needing to be repaved. They did start building luxury homes in the area. Before they added the stop sign I did not hear of any traffic study and never had a problem on East Village or entering from Wabuda.
the Google map is old enough it doesn't show the change - is the change that they straightened East Village to make it clearer that it is the dominant street (as Google shows on the map) or did they make it into a right angle "T" intersection with Wabuda now being straight and East Village being a "left turn". That might explain their thinking - a "left turn" does not normally have priority over opposing traffic going "straight". People "turning left" might stop and want to yield to the traffic stopped at the stop sign not realizing they have a stop sign or being uncomfortable turning in front of them since the other car was at the intersection first.
It is a t intersection. If you go straight through the stop sign you enter Wabuda. If you turn left at the intersection you stay on East Village. This is pointless because East Village isn't that busy of a road and Wabuda isn't busy and wasn't hard to get out of.
First of all East Village does not start at Rt 110 Maple Ave starts at Rt 110.Second they changed the intersection layout to make a T intersection,so a stop sign is warranted.You want to complain about stop sign what about the two at Maple ave at Hayfield,the only reason those are there is because Mr.Simonetti lives either on or off Hayfield,political pull.The stop sign at Maple and East Village I agree sucks its going to create problems in the winter,because we all know how quickly Mayor Lauretti puts Public works out on the road when it snows or there are ice conditions (HA HA HA).But since they changes the intersection to a T I can can see that it might call for a stop sign by law or local ordanince.
