Traffic light tilted so not visible on intersection of River Road and Main St... Open

6300-6450 Main Street Stratford, Connecticut - Stratford

Going southbound on Main Street at the intersection with Main Street Putney one of the traffic lights is tilted downward such that the signal is not very visible. I saw someone go through it and nearly cause a head on collision.

New traffic light scheme and crosswalk DANGEROUS Open

2979 Main St Stratford, CT 06614, USA - Stratford

The new traffic lights and crosswalk designations at this intersection have made it very dangerous for pedestrians and vehicles exiting or entering the Little Red School. This intersection was already well known for collisions due to people over shooting and running the lights here, the fact that the new lights have been moved in the WRONG direction have exacerbated an already dangerous problem. The lights are now almost totally unreadable from BOTH driveways at 2979 and 2965 main street (The Little Red School). there have been 2-3 accidents here yearly and I myself was almost hit while walking across main street. In addition the new crosswalk painted designations were routed DIRECTLY into the driveway of 2965 main, supposedly for "wheel chair access"... if a car or worse an SUV is exiting this same driveway onto main street it creates a VERY VERY dangerous situation for an upright pedestrian in that crosswalk, never mind someone in a wheelchair who is 3 feet lower...
All in all this is a discracefull situation especially considering the local children who come and go on this property six days a week, The LEAST that can be done is to have 2 traffic lights installed on the existing installation facing the two driveways of The Little Red School of Art and Music. This would AT LEAST give the traffic exiting onto main street a chance to do it safely.

  I agree that it is very dangerous trying to enter and exit the Little Red School.....especially when their are so many children involved.....it is ..after all a school and it should be a safe zone for entering and exiting the area.....I have many times been afraid to enter and exit that driveway.

Better Timed Traffic Light at Sikorsky Exit Southbound Open

6702-6884 Main St Stratford, CT 06614, USA - Stratford

The traffic light for the intersection of Rte 110 and the off ramp of Exit 53 Southbound on the Merritt Parkway needs to have the timing fixed to not allow traffic to get backed up at the light in front of Sikorsky's main gate. People are not able to use the Right-on-Green-Arrow at the exit ramp to go right onto Rte 110 during peak hours, which forces a lot of people to speed through the intersection to make the lights, or switch lanes with no notice after going into the wrong turn lane at the ramp to avoid the next light after the Sikorsky entrance where people turn left up the hill. It's a dangerous intersection that needs correcting.

  The best way to fix the situation is to have the state DOT put up major sineage saying "DON'T BLOCK THE BOX", paint cross-hatching in the intersection & post a Stratford Cop to ticket offenders. After a few days of that, people will get the idea & not block the intersection. It worked in NYC & Milford by East Town Road & Rt 1.
  
  Don't even try to ask State DOT to reset the lights - their traffic engineers are about as competent as the engineers who oversaw the I-84 construction in Cheshire.

  I agree!!!! Not only that but people making a left off the exit (with a short green light) are unable to go because the intersection is blocked......better timed light and police enforcement of the laws would be nice

  Right now maybe 4 cars at a time can get off to go to the right. I think its reasonable to ask for 10 to 15 more seconds so that there is not the congestion on the connector and the Merritt Parkway.

Traffic Light should have a Left Turn Arrow Open

Broadbridge And Canaan Rd Stratford, CT 06614, USA - Stratford

If you've ever come down Broadbridge you've been stuck at this light. There should be an arrow to turn left or the light should turn green for 30 seconds or more on the side coming from Boston Ave. If you want to turn left onto Canaan Road you can catch this light 3 to 4 times. People trying to turn here also cause the traffic to back up on Broadbridge, and often cut the light because they will get caught at the light again or risk turning in front of another car that always has to be in a big hurry to drive into the side of the turning car. This is such a dangerous situation.

Tall Brush on Broadbridge Archived

3282 Broadbridge Avenue Stratford, CT 06614, USA - Stratford

Tall brush on right hand side of Broadbridge Avenue from Emerald Place all the way up to Second Hill Road. Under Power Lines. Brush has totally overgrown shoulder and is now growing into traffic lane. No place for pedestrians or cyclists. Roadsigns are obscured by brush. Cannot see traffic light at 2nd Hill Rd as you come around curve.

Please maintain your roadsides!!!

Light to Turn into HomeDepot Northbound, needs to be longer! Open

446-496 Barnum Avenue Cutoff Stratford, CT 06614, USA - Stratford

The light to turn into HomeDepot either needs to be extended for north bound traffic on route 1, or the arrow only turn needs to be removed. The amount of traffic going into HomeDepot on a weekend (and most afternoons) backs up to the point at which it blocks the preceeding intersection.

  Agreed! This creates a dangerous situation in which 3 lanes get reduced to 1 when the traffic becomes backed up.

  This is a STATE ROAD, but it can get local pedestrians or drivers killed or injured.
  -
  Many teens go to the Movies or McDonalds or Walmart/Shop Rite/Home Depot or
  stores in the strip mall.
  -
  Many are on BIKES or WALK.
  -
  There are many people who wait for the BUS and could be hit and hurt/killed if an
  accident spilled over from the street to the sidewalk.

  The State of CT & Town of Stratford, should remedy ASAP

Woodstock Ave. is a racetrack. Open

383 Woodstock Ave Stratford, CT 06614, USA - Stratford

Since the traffic on Windsor has been controlled with the signs and increased police observations, the traffic has moved to Woodstock Avenue. There are many tiny children, and some elementary school age. They are blissfully unaware of how fast the cars and trucks, including the FedEx truck, go up and down the street. Could we have a few of those signs, and more police cruising the area? Thanks, pac

north and south bound lanes of Barnum and King st Open

Barnum Ave And King St - Stratford

Barnum ave north and south bound need delay green arrows and lanes to help driving across traffic onto opposite sides of King St. Especially when there is a school function going on, and when people are commuting to and from work.
