traffic light way to long!! Open

408 N Leavitt Rd Amherst, OH 44001, USA - Amherst

The traffic light on Levitt Rd. at the route 2 ramp across from wendy's is WAY to long of a red light going north on Levitt rd. I have timed this light and it stays red for 2 minutes, then only stays green for about 30 seconds!! Traffic gets backed up all the way to drug mart! Somebody needs to change this light. It's a nightmare!!

  I agree, I no longer go there because of the long light. They are losing business at the restraunts.

  the township is too busy to worry about the people who actually pay the taxes, bet you they hire the worst company in town to repair our roads. we need to elect new trustee's people who live and drive on our streets.

Edge of road damaged?Stop Sign Hazard Open

900 Sunnyside Rd Vermilion, OH 44089, USA - Vermilion

There are now big potholes in several places along Sunnyside Road, between Liberty Avenue and North Ridge Road. Some of them are very deep, and could damage cars, or cause an accident. They are hard to see at night, especially if filled with water/snow. Putting gravel in the holes does not constitute a real "FIX."
Another issue on this road is the stop sign just north of the tracks. It is a hazard to human lives. Traffic going northbound could get stuck behind a vehicle in front of them, (who is stopped at the sign,) and get RUN OVER by a train. It is a really dangerous spot to have a stop sign! I have nearly had the bars coming down on my vehicle because the vehicle in front of me was stopped at the sign, and I could barely get off the tracks in time.! The sign needs to be moved to the other incoming road, where it would not hinder traffic from getting away from those tracks.
And what if the vehicle in front of me had stalled? Or just wasn't paying attention? Lives could be lost here, if this is not changed.

  This has NOT been fixed. Some of the holes had been filled with gravel, and that only lasted a short while. There is one really deep hole that I nearly tore the car up on. And the hazardous stop sign is still there.

  The real danger is that you are stupid enough to drive on to a set of tracks knowing that you can't get off of them. How did you ever get your drivers license?

People using parking spots as a turning lane, illegally turning on red. Open

101-199 Church St Amherst, OH 44001, USA - Amherst

This is happened more than once with me sitting at this light. I have my right signal on waiting to turn right, and people behind me will get impatient, go around and use the parking spots as a "turning lane" and they proceed to make an illegal turn. It's happened to me and a few people I know, one being a near accident.

I have a solution for this and it's simple.... put a parking spot on the very last spot and voila, no more illegal turns!

  It's a parking spot irregardless. The road is a designated 2 lane road.
  
  Therefore the person in the parking spot making an illegal right turn on red in that part of the road is TOTALLY in the wrong. You are technically "going off the road" to make an illegal turn. These people need to learn how to WAIT like everyone else does. They aren't special.
  
  Trust me. I've been in the paving business for 24 years and know the traffic laws when it comes to parallel parking spots!
  
  It seems like nobody follows the traffic laws anymore, especially in Amherst.

  johns, just because it's part of the roadway,doesn't mean you have the right to go around someone making a LEGAL right turn to turn illegally. a parking spot is a parking spot not a road way.

  I think there is also a "no turn on red sign" at this intersection.

  Just almost got smacked here the other day. Was waiting at the light to turn right... it turned green and I went to go when all of a sudden someone went to the right of me, cut me off and turned right via the parking spot. I was nearly hit and didn't have time to catch up with them because they were driving so fast. Something needs to be done about this!

  Sink hole in Amherst eats car! Headline for Amherst News Times... The hole gets paved twice a year every year for the last ten years and keeps coming back... perhaps filling it in with patch yet again isn't the answer... perhaps someone can figure out WHY it continually needs to be patched? It's not as if the patch is being torn out of the hole, it just continues to sink down into the hole! Is it being eroded by a natural stream or some other source of water below ground? This is a safety issue that needs fixed correctly!
