LIGHT AT CORWIN AND JACKSON TO A ROAD THAT GOES NOWHERE! Archived

1325 West Jackson Street Painesville, OH 44077, USA - Painesville

Deactivate the light at Corwin and Jackson Street! Why does anyone need a light, let alone a left hand turn arrow to a road that goes to nowhere. For years there was no light and everything was fine. Now every time someone activates the light, westbound traffic has to stop and then wait for an arrowfor left turns to a road that goes absolutely nowhere!

Slow down! Open

900 Block Of Mentor Ave. Painesville, OH 44077, USA - Painesville

Traffic needs to slow down. People in and out of the YMCA, children all around, people walking dogs, etc. Police should enforce the 35mph or drop the limit to 25mph.

  If the police won't enforce the 35mph limit, what makes you think a 25mph limit will have a different result?

railroad tie broken Open

128-198 Stage Ave Painesville, OH 44077, USA - Painesville

traveling east on Stage Ave. when you cross the abandoned railroad tracks just past the recycle business, there is a railroad tie that comes up when driven over.
Why don't they remove the tracks since there are no tracks north of Stage Ave. they just end right there when you drive over. It would smooth out a lot of traffic and lesson the noise from truck driving over them, and less wear and tear on all automobiles

  Yes, this is true. This track has been bad for a long time. There are rail road ties broken and spikes sticking up. Pieces of the rail road ties are scattered. I am sure this is where my son got a flat tire also...what the heck is wrong with this picture. The state and city trucks go over this area daily..why is something not done about this???

Southbound Heisley Warning Open

United States - Painesville

Why do they not have the "No South Bound Traffic On Heisley" warning sign before one reaches the southbound 44 exit ramp on route 2. Currently the warning sign is placed west of the last convenient detour for vehicles coming from the east. Makes no sense to have it between the Heisley exit and the south 44 exit.
So travelers coming from the east could use the Jackson street detour instead of traveling 2 all the way to 615 and circling back. Someone didn't think this through for commuters coming from east of 44.

  It's ODOT. They don't want you to use the more convenient side streets. They are keeping to detour to state routes.

  I became wise to it finally, but figured they had it fixed last fall. Been working on that bridge forever. I realize its a big traffic hub. One can see the warning signs before the 44 exit if you look hard enough. Just frustrating to have to go all the way to 615 exit if you forget the bridge doesn't allow southbound traffic. Well. I did my part . See I'm not totally alone in this gripe.

Lack of school zone signs Archived

616-620 Liberty St Painesville, OH 44077, USA - Painesville

While driving south on Liberty street in Painesville city at about 7:30 AM weeday mornings I noticed a lot of middle school kids walking to school. Some of these kids try to jay walk across Liberty st. Yesterday I noticed a very small child, (about three and half feet), trying to cross and the cross walk with a traffic light was about 30 or 40 feet away. Since the school is not on Liberty St. there is no school zone sign and the kids are thick all over the place. I applaud the kids walking to school but I feel the city should provide some kind of safety for them. either a crossing guard or Police presence.

I drive very cautiously through this area but do notice some drivers are not paying attention to what is going on around them. The traffic is heavy at this time in the morning. I have had drivers come up behind me at 35MPH right on my tail. They have had to be exceeding the speed limit to come up on me that fast.

RT 20 and Chestnut, east bound Open

36 Chestnut St Painesville, OH 44077, USA - Painesville

Since going to three lanes, this light isn't set right, east bound traffic on rt 20 backs up on red light.

- really? (Guest)
  
  So you are saying that when the light changes to red, traffic stops (like it is supposed to) and since it is stopped it starts to back-up? Sounds normal to me. I anticipate that traffic starts to back-up when a light is red. What is your solution to the problem? I am sure that if the city made the green light longer for Mentor Avenue everyone on Chestnut would complain about how long they have to wait to get a green light.

  ok, who is the majority? The people on Chestnut or the people that use RT 20? How they fix it, is Painesville's problem. They are the ones who was to cheap to expand RT20. Unlike their neighbor Painesville Twp, where they could find the funds to do RT20 the right way.

left turns east bound have right of way to people stopped at stop sign... Open

Painesville Stop Sign - Painesville

Painesville Police have told me that left turning on the square towards victoria place has the right of way. They dont have to yield for stop sign traffic. Stop sign traffic needs to yield to turning traffic.

  I agree. I did wonder though...I thought if they were at the stop sign before the car turning left, the left turning car had to yield? It does say yield right on the street. That intersection is so aggravating though, people just push right through that stop sign, ignoring traffic turning that does NOT have the stop sign.

  I agree. I have gotten beeped at had the middle finger flipped my way a few times because I WAS yielding to oncoming traffic and those behind me were getting impatient! Idiots! Obviously they don't pay attention to the little yellow sign under the stop sign! I think sometimes it's because some of them don't read English so obviously can't read the sign. Makes me wonder how some people pass the driving test!

Northbound traffic has a stop sign. Southbound traffic turning left to go around the square has the right of way. Northbound traffic does not yield to oncoming traffic.

There are a lot of people that use Rockwood Drive as a cut through to miss the light on the corner or State & Erie Streets. They speed down the street and fly around the corner, many times just missing traffic coming from the other direction. There are many children that live on the street and I am deeply concerned they will be hit, if they are on the sidewalk or street. I have stopped police and offered to have them sit in the driveway and watch, they don't. This has got to stop, please help before a child is injured!

  The traffic on this stretch of Rt. 20 (Mentor Ave.) is ridiculous since the city (in their infinite wisdom) changed the paint to 1 lane in each direction, plus a turning lane. I know that the road was never wide enough (legally) to make it 2 lanes in each direction, but this new solution just does not work! Here's a suggestion that I have seen work in other cities; Make the center lane direction optional. At certain times of the day when the traffic flow is heavier westbound make 2 lanes westbound (with clearly marked digital signs for the center lane), and when traffic flow is heavier eastbound make the center lane eastbound. BTW people are already doing this themselves at the risk of others!
  The only other option is tear it all up AGAIN, and make the road wider to accommodate 2 (full) lanes in each direction.
  Ultimately, the City of Painesville is planning a major revitalization, but if people can't get from the Painesville Commons Shopping Center to downtown Painesville on Rt. 20, it will all be for naught.

Painesville Rt 20 - Attention! 2 lanes turns into 1! Open

1082-1130 U.S. 20 Painesville, OH 44077, USA - Painesville

Every day, I drive eastbound on Rt 20 into Painesville. As I pass the RR crossing at Fairgrounds Rd. and continue through the stop light at Fern Dr., the left lane ends shortly after that. There are at least 2 - 3 cars that speed up and try desperately to squeeze into the right lane traffic. There is only a small yellow sign by the Pizza Hut/ Wings Restaurant that no body seems to pay attention to. Is there another way to block out that left lane earlier to let people know ahead of time that the lane ends. Thank you.

  It worked fine driving as two lanes in each direction.
  Roads did not used to be as wide as they are now.
  It took basic driving skills to drive safely when it was two lanes.
  Drivers have been too distracted for years now. Look at the extra reflective material on stop signs now. Train crossings - it should be common sense that you stop at train tracks. We should not have to have gates at so many crossings.
  Drive responsibily folks.
  Accept responsibility for your actions.

  The sign that is above Route 20 East at Fern Drive shows the left lane is straight and needs to be removed. Currently the signs shows left and right lanes are open. Also put a sign prior to rr tracks showing the left land ends and drivers need to merge to the right to proceed East on Route 20. There is a lawsuit waiting to happen when, God forebid gets killed or severly injured. So they can sue the deep pockets of ODOT and contractor that completed the conctruction project who left the road signage incorrect

  BRigo2 makes a lot of sense. If only someone would listen. It never made sense to do it this way. Isn't it sad that we pay the taxes that keep our city officials in office and yet they don't listen to the needs of the people. The long lines of traffic are horrible and everytime we leave the YMCA I feel like we're risking our lives trying to get in or to get out.

They pay no attention to the walk/dont walk signs, and many don't even cross at the corners. I have also seen numerous fights among groups of kids who gather on Liberty and Walnut after school.

  Fights you you want to see fights come down Marion ave. after a basket ball game. or when roller rink lets out their are 50+ kids fighting up and down the street. And when the cops do come and that 20 minutes later sometimes they cut thru everyones yard mind you this is at 1030 1130 at night some times later. where are the cops, parents to monitor this problem? And dont we have a curfew in this city thats inforced anymore

  I agree. But as a driver see if I hit one and who will be wrong cuz it's never the kids fault as they or their parent see it.

pedestrians crossing against traffic lights Open

293 Liberty St Painesville, OH 44077, USA - Painesville

The pedestrians in Painesville need to be taught that when a traffic signal is red it also applies to them. I've seen many times that someone crosses an intersection when not only the traffic signal is red but the walk/don't walk sign says "don't walk" and they cross anyway. They think they have the right of way no matter what the signals are telling them. I stopped in at the Police Station to complain about it and the officer I spoke to wouldn't answere my question. I asked him "who has the right of way, the car or the pedestrian". His answere was constantly "it all depends". Even if I am entering an intersection with a green light that has been green for some time and someone crosses the street he still responded "it all depends". Sounds like not only do the pedestrians need to be educated but even the officer that I spoke with. If the sign says "Don't Walk" and the traffic signal is red...DON'T CROSS THE STREET.

Light changes randomly Open

170 E Washington St Painesville, OH 44077, USA - Painesville

This light changes without the presence of traffic from either direction. It would make sense to have a pressure sensor that would trigger the light when traffic is stopped on washington. Everytime i drive down 86 into painesville, no matter if its 9am, noon, or midnight, i get stopped at this light, regardless of the presence of traffic.

Long lights Open

Main Street And St. Clair - Painesville

The light at Main St. and St. Clair in Painesville is way too long. You sit at the light on Main St. and there is no traffic coming from St Clair. The lights in Painesville are terrible. It takes 20 minutes to get across town because you get stopped at EVERY light!

Stop sign needed Open

901-923 N St Clair St Painesville, OH 44077, USA - Painesville

Ever since Huntington Elementary left, the traffic lights at Hines and N Saint Clair have been left with N Saint Clair having a blinking yellow and Hines having a blinking red. Unfortunately many people on Hines do not realize that N Saint Clair only has a blinking yellow and either stop then go with a car coming, or they just blow through the blinking red and treat it like a blinking yellow. I have now had 2 near misses at this intersection. Please take down the useless lights and put up a stop sign on Hines and a mention that its only a 2 way stop. Maybe if it actually says "STOP" the people might actually stop!

  I live 2 houses from this light, and have lost count of the near misses and accidents that happen at this intersection. And they are bad accidents, usually too fast and with injuries. There are also always kids on this corner. I hope this gets fixed before my family and i witness a death.

  When I took my drivers training and test ; a blinking RED light IS the same as a stop sign. If a driver is not stopping; maybe they need to be re-tested.
  
  Also a caution light is just what it means, "CAUTION", whatch out for the inparied driver.

  I agree Sammy, its just that when you do slow down for the yellow light and are right on the intersection, people will go through thinking you are stopping! Had another near miss today!
