Descrição

The addition of the second in-street pedestrian sign here this spring was a noticeable improvement to this intersection's safety. Now it's back down to only one in-street sign. This is a wide, dangerous intersection with drivers rushing down Trumbull Street to and from the highway entrances. Please bring back that second in-street sign!

I'm guessing that someone (probably a hateful motorist) is stealing the signs. Other signs have disappeared from Orange St., State St. and other locations. Might be helpful if RFID chips could be put in the signs, so that the signs and the thieves can be tracked down.

I think RFID has problems with range, doesn't it? I think without an investment in the 10s of thousands you are looking at 50 feet. Maybe a GPS/LoJack is the way to go? I know you can buy a GPS transponder for roughly 150, plus the service charge.

the only problem is that a criminal may be smart enough to look for it (especially if we post about it in SCF). It would have to be integrated with the overall sign in some way.

I think a camera is probably the cheapest/best way of catching the theft of the signs.

I'm not sure of the exact cost-model, but if there's a substantial cost for the electronic monitoring, it might be more cost-effective to use that money to simply buy more signs. Just a thought...

There is a camera at the Trumbull / Orange intersection. I wonder how far East on Trumbull St. the camera can see, and if there is a record of what the camera is viewing?

There is still only one in-street sign here!

There should be two signs here.

These signs seem to disappear from intersections all around town. Several weeks ago, on my regular evening walk, I saw one of these signs in the yard of a house on Nicoll St. (I didn't have my camera with me, so no photographic proof). I went back, the next day to ask the homeowner about the sign, but the sign was gone...
Some of the signs get run over and destroyed, but the city should have more of these signs, in reserve, to immediately replace the signs that are stolen or destroyed.

Streever took them with him when he was run out of town.
Hausladen helped.
