About once a month, a tractor trailer trying to make a too tight turn, break this light. It happened again today.

  The light has been fixed, but trucks that are too big for that turn keep trying to make it.

  I have called on that car before. When I did they moved it across the street. It belongs to the crew right there on the corner. 3-1-1 is the place to turn. Have tag and valid descriptions of violations like expired tags, inspection, safety, enviro issues.

Traffic light @ Sepviva and Susquhanna Open

2152 E Susquehanna Ave Philadelphia, PA 19125, USA - Kensington

This light is hit about once a month by a tractor trailer trying to make a right turn. His guy just drove away. I called the police and went inside after waiting for them for 30min in the cold.

Car parked illegally on sidewalk Archived

2533 Webb St Philadelphia, PA 19125, USA - Kensington

Green dodge neon always parked illegally on sidewalk, making through traffic increasingly difficult. Mailtrucks and trash trucks often have challenges driving down the street.

  Called 911. Hopefully a ticket or two will resolve issue. This morning the garbage truck could not get passed and was awoken to the trash truck laying on the horn hoping someone would come out and move the vehicle.

Used car lot routinely puts there cars on the street - fronts facing out - every day. This blocks the bike lane - forcing cyclists into traffic.

  I noticed this was still down today, too. The road is blocked off at this intersection, but hopefully it gets cleaned up quickly so no kids start playing on it.

  I live here - I reported it at midnight on Saturday to 311 - the reference # is 1846506.
  
  Neighborhood children have been continually playing on it, and traffic is completely blocked southbound on the street.

Bike lane used as express/turn lane Open

2300-2398 Richmond St Philadelphia, PA 19125, USA - Kensington

(traveling South on Richmond) Cars continually pass on the right of traffic, crossing into the bike lane, to avoid new traffic light and either turn onto Girard ("No turn on red" is not being enforced) or jump ahead of traffic to go South on Richmond.

  I almost got hit by a car turning on a red watching traffic South on Richmond to turn but obviously not the person in front of him in the crosswalk. No Turn on Red should be posted or the illegal lane should be crossed out.
