Excessive speeding ( > 50mph in 25mph zone) Open

31-99 High Ridge Ave Ridgefield, CT 06877, USA - Ridgefield

People are flooring it coming from West Lane to shortcut via High Ridge, regularly in excess of double the limit. Need regular police speed trap here.

  The last thing our town needs is more speed traps. The speed limit of 25mph is ridiculous, I could get out and run faster than that. People need to drive with initiative and move over to let other drivers pass when they need to get some place quicker. It should be 30mph min. in Ridgefield. Also, the BS about buses picking up little Johnny and Suzie for school every 3ft must stop.

Street Light Out Archived

72-98 Grove St Ridgefield, CT 06877, USA - Ridgefield

Much needed Street light out that illuminates crosswalk on Grove Street between 90 Grove Street (east side) and the Casagmo condos (west side). Also the "watch out for pedestrians" sign for the middle of Grove Street has been missing for months - trying to cross in the crosswalk is taking your life in your hands because of the speeding cars - the sign in the middle of the street needs to be put back permanently - even if trucks with plows have to drive slowly. Or, else put in speed bumps to slow vehicles down!

Speeding Open

273 Wilton Road East Ridgefield, CT 06877, USA - Ridgefield

Excessive speeding has been an issue on this "straightaway," on Wilton Road East for years. Many people walk, run and walk their pets here. It would be a long-hoped for sight if the police set up a trap here. I know I can volunteer a driveway.

Speeding on Wilton Road East Open

44-98 Wilton Rd E Ridgefield, CT 06877, USA - Ridgefield

The speed limit on this road is 25 mph, and the majority of the cars go 35-45 mph making it very dangerous for walkers.

Traffic on Farmingville Open

Farmingville Road Ridgefield, CT 06877, USA - Ridgefield

Speeding continues on Farmingville and Blackman Roads. The streets have no sufficient lights and no sidewalks. Evening hours and morning hours when people jog and walk on the streets are dangerous. Perhaps the town could invest in putting a sidewalk along Farmingville for the community.

  Streets belong to cars. Don't walk or jog on them if you're worried about traffic, Simple as that.

  I have been passed numerous times on Farmingville Road by impatient people who think nothing of zooming past me, crossing the double line, going 50-60 mph. There are several blind curves on Farmingville make it especially dangerous for law-abiding motorists as well as cyclists and pedestrians. We need much more stringent enforcement of the speed limit on Farmingville.

  Perhaps joggers and walkers could stay off the roads which are made for AUTOS.

  Roads are most DEFINITELY not "made for autos" or "belong to cars". The roads existed long before the automobile was even a gleam in Henry Ford's eye. Pedestrians and cyclists have every right to travel along a road, as guaranteed by CT state law Chapter 249, Sec. 14-300c, even where no sidewalk exists.
  
  As for adding sidewalks along Farmingville, while I agree that they would be very useful, because the road passes through protected wetlands (the Great Swamp), it would be nearly impossble to obtain the state's permission to build.
  
  Personally, I admire those who hike up Farmingville to get their groceries, or who jog for their health along High Ridge Ave. It's becoming clear that the bloggers who state here that "roads belong to cars" and such are likely the same ones who speed on Farmingville Rd, High Ridge Ave, etc. How about showing those folks legally walking, biking or jogging on town roads a little courtesy?

slow down, invisible curve Open

109-123 Ramapoo Rd Ridgefield, CT 06877, USA - Ridgefield

Curve makes it impossible to see walkers along road. People are speeding around this curve and coming close to killing pedestrians.

Speeding on St. Johns Road (very dangerous) Open

113-181 St Johns Rd Ridgefield, CT 06877, USA - Ridgefield

Posted Speed is 25. People drive 45-55 on it regularly, Especially on the straight-away. There are kids, people running and walking their dogs alot. Very popular place for people who don't even live on the street to run there. Having someone barrel past you at that speed is unnerving since the road could be considered rather narrow.
Please post signs to slow down, kids in area, etc. Police patrol now and then might curb these habits too. Finally what is with all the graffiti on the stop signs etc around town. Makes Ridgefield look kinda ghetto? Thanks for your time!

  People continue to fly down this road. One guy must have been going 65 mph yesterday, unbelievable! Speeders are mostly commuters 7am-9am and 4pm-6pm. I have seen during the day but most if it occurs in the morning hours.. Please put an officer out there and they'll see what I am talking about. Thank you.

Tree on corner block the view to the left Open

2-98 Westmoreland Rd Ridgefield, CT 06877, USA - Ridgefield

Coming onto Peaceable from Westmoreland it's hard to see to the left. Actually the right isn't much better. Trees need to be cut on both sides. Many people stupidly don't drive with their lights on these wooded roads so they're hard to see. Add speeding and sometimes the margins get quite small.

Cut the trees please!

SPEEDING Open

11-99 Maple Shade Rd Ridgefield, CT 06877, USA - Ridgefield

PEOPLE PLEASE SLOW DOWN! This is a major cut through street to get to the other side of town, its a narrow residential street with 25mph signs posted yet most people gun it as fast as they can to get from one side to the other! I can barely get my mail without getting hit! I wish it would be patrolled more or speed bumps put in!
