There is a dangerous intersection at the corner of Ardmore and Gladstone Avenues. The 2 stop signs on Ardmore Avenue are often ignored on a daily basis because the signs are blocked by tree branches. Obviously, this is extremely dangerous if someone is traveling on Gladstone Avenue, which does not have a stop sign. The local school is one block away, so there is a heavy volume of children in this area.
This problem needs to be fixed TODAY! The East Trenton district of the TPD is only a block away...and I'm certain they are unaware of this issue. The City of Trenton needs to come out and chop down those trees before someone gets into a bad vehicle accident.

This is a bad intersection. There are accidents at least once a month. The last time, a gentleman hit the mailman, and the passenger was taken away in an ambulance.
I don't think it's trees, though. The canopy of the trees is well above the stop signs; the trunks of the trees don't obstruct, either; and the shrubs on the corner properties (two of them) are also low enough to not block the signs. There are just A LOT of lousy drivers here, and they speed and ignore the stop signs. Perhaps if it were a four-way stop intersection, that would help. Or, if like Villa Park, these were one way streets. Or, maybe some speed bumps would be good.
Who studies traffic? Is this something the city manages? Or the state?
