Trees are Blocking Road Signs Open

816 New Loudon Rd Latham, NY - Latham

There are large tree branches covering the directional road signs for the Latham Circle. This makes it difficult for drivers who are unfamiliar with the area to properly know where they are going.

light changing when no car is exiting Open

Albany International Airport Albany, NY 12211, USA - Latham

the light at this location will change when there is no car leaving to go left, there is a sensor mounted on a pole that looks at cars that would be leaving. A tree was planted in front of this sensor and over time has grown in height and is blocking the line of sight and is causing the sensor to think that there is a car trying to exit. this issue is more of a head ache when the tree has leaves on it. would not want to see the tree cut down, but to have either the sensor moved to another pole that has a clear line of sight or a ground loop installed.

  traffic "eye" sensor has NOT been moved to a better location to look at cars lining up to exit the @AlbanyAirport still look some location other than the line up que. trees are in full leaf and has to be causing the light to change for no car that might be exiting. sensor need to be moved to pole that is on the west side of exit when looking at cars coming out, there it will have clear view and no issue of trees.

Large Trees Blocking Road-Signs Structure Open

601-663 Columbia St Exd Latham, NY 12110, USA - Latham

There are large pine trees blocking the road signs for Route 9, and Interstate 87.

It is a large grouping of signs, and the trees are almost totally blocking it, making it difficult with drivers who are unfamiliar with the roads to know which direction they should go.

The trees need to be trimmed back quite a lot in order to clear up this dangerous situation of weaving drivers who are confused because they don't know which lane to be in because they can't see the signs.

  I agree, Eric. For people who are unfamiliar with this intersection (and it seems as though this is the case more and more each day), it's very dangerous when drivers wildly jerk the wheel at the last second because they can't see the sign to know where they're going.

  It's been almost a year-- still not a single branch has been trimmed back. This is VERY irresponsible of the road crews.

Bushes, Trees, Overgrowth Blocks View Open

85 Mill Rd Latham, NY 12110, USA - Latham

The corner of Mill Road and Forts Ferry Road is absolutely horrendous!

There are so many trees and bushes growing over into the road, directly up to the corner of the intersection. The homeowner or Town of Colonie or whoever is responsible, needs to trim back these bushes about 3 to 4 feet from the edge of the road (on both corners), because it creates a dangerous hazard by blocking the view of drivers who are trying to turn onto Forts Ferry Road.

This is an accident waiting to happen because of its poor vantage point, especially at night.

Trees and a turn obscure the traffic light when traveling south. Trees need to be trimmed.

"55 MPH AHEAD" Signs Needed Open

State Highway 7 Latham, NY 12110, USA - Latham

When traveling westbound up the hill on NY Route 7, "Speed Limit 55 Ahead" signs are needed, to warn motorists that the speed limit is reduced to 55 MPH from the 65 MPH zone behind them.

All branches of the Exit 7 ramps, as well as the stretches ahead on Interstate 87 (the Adirondack Northway) are 55 MPH, but many motorists do not know this, and drive much too quickly in this area. It is very dangerous.

Attached is a sample picture of the signs that are needed here. The ones presently located there are inadequate, and do not alert drivers far enough in advance of the speed reduction.

Large Trees Blocking Road-Signs Open

475-485 Troy Schenectady Rd Latham, NY 12110, USA - Latham

There are large trees blocking the signs for Route 2 and Route 9. They are located near the Mobil gas station.

They should be cut down to eliminate weaving motorists not paying attention to which lane they should be in.
