Traffic Signal needed on Hillside/Munson Acknowledged

Mansfield St And Hillside St New Haven, CT - Prospect Hill

Since Science park was built there has been increased traffic coming up HIllside at high speeds. If you are on Mansfield St. it is nearly impossible to see traffic coming up Hillside unless you inch out too far. Please put a traffic light on Hillside and Mansfield.

  I agree - visibility is very poor at that intersection. Not sure a traffic light is the way to go, but some remediation is needed.

  Agreed. Maybe a stop sign would work just as well.

Bad traffic light timing Acknowledged

1-99 Huntington St New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Prospect Hill

The light at Huntington and Whitney is out of whack. Sometimes, most times, it takes 5 minute to turn from red to green when trying to cross Whitney on Huntington. Sometimes it cycles through without turning green for Huntington traffic to cross. It is very frustrating.

  The answer you seek is on page three of todays New Have Register. 3.2 million dollars went into the fix of the problem.

Stop sign - USELESS! Archived

Corner Of Starr St. And Sheffield Ave. - Prospect Hill

Cars continues to ignore the stop signs posted. They fly through them all the time. PLEASE can someone come out and investigate and possibly come up with a solution such as possible traffic light or blinking caution light! Lots of children live and play in this area.

  I agree, speeding here is a MAJOR issue. Since enforcement is next to useless and the police district manager has said it is difficult to maintain as a priority, given limited cop resources, the best solution would be to narrow the travel lanes significantly so that cars have to slow.
  
  This can be done with temporary curb extensions for very little cost, until funding becomes available to install permanent infrastructure, like the ones currently being put in in East Shore, East Rock and Westville (at the current rate of construction, Newhallville will eventually get such infrastructure, but it will take dozens of years to roll them out everywhere they are needed).
  
  Another short-term solution would be to drop a huge block of concrete in the middle of the intersection, with reflectors on it, like what Berkeley, CA and many other cities do.
  
  I'm not sure why the city isn't working to improve quality of life by rolling out temporary infrastructure like this.

  The speed humps on Front Street, and in other areas of New Haven, seem to be working well.
  
  This article describes how investments like these can prevent crimes from happening within neighborhoods: http://www.bicyclinginfo.org/library/details.cfm?id=3970
  
  Has anyone considered completing a "complete streets" request form? Forms are available at http://www.cityofnewhaven.com/Engineering/completestreets.asp and I would be happy to help with a draft if a group of residents in this area wanted to make a request for traffic calming.

  Drivers going up and down Prospect generally move so fast (well beyond the 25 Mph posted speed limit) that the light is really necessary.

  It works, but takes way too long. I have seen several emergency vehicles (cops and ambulances) who turn on their flashers to run the red light. I would gladly use this road to and from Whitney but have to use another route due to the 10 minutes it takes sitting at this light. Canner in turn has too many cars on it now, and with school back in session the crosswalk at the end causes a huge backup.
