Intersection has no vehicle sensors Archived

4501 N. Fairfax Dr. Arlington, VA - Ballston

The light timing is based on a fixed schedule and not by vehicle presence. Works OK for much of the day but not during lighter loads where one has to wait too long for nobody to get a green light.

  The intersection of N. Glebe Road and Fairfax Drive does have vehicle sensors that you will find in the pavement.
  
  During the day, you may be experiencing some shortened green lights due to heavy pedestrian traffic (crosswalk buttons), but nothing significant.
  
  Traffic Engineering and Operations Staff will be checking the intersection to confirm that the sensors are working properly, but there are sensors.

Police Trap- Right lane cannot go straight Open

1724 Columbia Pike Arlington, VA - Penrose

County police set up a trap very often to catch unsuspecting drivers going straight on Columbia Pike from the right lane during morning rush hour. Signage and road markings are difficult to read with small print and do not stand out. The idea is that drivers should be able to turn right onto the 395 onramp from the left lane, but it is a poorly designed idea; rarely do people turn right from the left lane because they know it is dangerous to do so. The idea may work in theory but does not work in practice. The county should eliminate this ridiculous rush hour turn lane system and remove the police trap along with it.

  For what little it's worth, at least they're harassing everyone equally. A few months ago a cop pulled over a Metrobus for going straight.

  I use the left lane to turn right. After using the right lane for so long, I realized it can be difficult to get someone to allow you in to merge onto Washington Blvd in order to proceed onto 395N. I don't view this as a speed trap, rather people not paying attention. I've even seen an Arlington County government vehicle go straight in the right lane.
  
  I'd like to see them set up cones similar to what they do for folks coming on to the Memorial Bridge into DC in the morning.

hump in road Archived

801-863 Army Navy Dr Arlington, VA 22202, USA - Arlington

There is a long hump in the road on Army-Navy Dr., in the right lane just before the intersection, heading east. The hump is quite long (maybe 4-5'), parallel to the street. I tripped on it and skinned my knee and tore my pants bec. I didn't see it crossing the street. I am lucky there was no one coming since I fell flat on my face!

There should also be a crosswalk there! It is a dangerous intersection!

Signals need turn arrows Open

1429 S Fern St Arlington, VA 22202, USA - Aurora Highlands

There are no left turn arrows or lanes at this intersection. Traffic can get really backed up, mainly by Costco traffic turning from 15th and oncoming drivers blocking the intersection. It would greatly facilitate flow to put in a light with a left turn arrow.

cross walk safety Open

15th St S (At Joyce & Pentagon City Mall) Arlington, VA - Aurora Highlands

There is a cross walk near the Pentagon City Mall on 15th & Joyce St that is heavily used but drivers (including metrobus drivers and Arlington County vehicles) never stop for pedestrians. A few weeks ago a school bus - after picking up some children - stopped for pedestrians to cross and a driver sped around the school bus and almost hit the man crossing in front of me. This is a very dangerous pedestrian crossing that is heavily used by metro riders. I'd appreciate it if the police could spend some time enforcing speed and cross walk safety laws during morning and evening commuting areas.

Crystal Drive Arlington, VA - Arlington

Train conductors blow the whistles too loud and too long. It is extremely annoying to the many people living and working in the area. People waiting for the train further down, do not need such warning. Please help us get to someone who can stop all this unnecessary disturbing noise. Thank you.

Full stop required Open

Virginia 27 & Columbia Pike & S Washington Blvd Arlington, VA - Foxcroft Heights

Construction has eliminated an acceleration lane. I've seen cars coming from the westbound Columbia Pike to East/South Washington Blvd. enter the right lane without stopping or yielding. One almost hit me and I've seen it happen to other drivers. We had to slam on our brakes to prevent an accident. The "yield" sign needs to be immediately replaced by several "stop" signs with signs warning those drivers about the stop.
