the speed bumps are entirely too high. it scrapes the bottom of my car each time i go over it. i've seen a car get stuck trying to go over a speed bump beacuse his car was low.

A large curb/narrow road causes a HUGE bottleneck and traffic nightmare in Woodbridge/New Haven on Rt. 69 (Right by Starbucks Plaza). If the road was widened by at least 1 ft on the right (headed towards new haven) this would solve this ridiculous traffic problem.

CT15 - Enterance 59, Southbound

This needs to be a yield sign and maybe paint some arrows on the right lane on CT15 directing traffic over to the left to allow oncomers. It SHOULD NOT be a stop sign because of its location. This enterance makes it difficult to get on traffic with a hill just ahead - especially for 4cylinder cars (which I have). From a stop, its nearly impossible to get going fast enough to avoid a collision with oncoming traffic. Thus we have to make sure no one is coming for quite a distance, thus we sit there for a long period of time holding up traffic. This would be better suited as a merge and forcing more cars to pull into the left lane to allow more convienence for oncomers. Lets face it, leaving it up to the decision of the CT people is not a good idea. In general, CT drivers are selfish.

During rush hour the traffic backs up considerably at this 4-WAY STOP...should be replaced by a rotary!!!!!

large dangerous heavy limb overhanging road.....reported many times but no action taken as of yet
A year later this problem still exists!

On Rt 69 south, between Lucy St and the entrance to Rt 15 south, the curb could be moved to create a lane for the cars that want to get on the parkway. This would facilitate traffic flow between the 3 lights.
The timing of the lights appears to have been improved but the traffic still backs up and few cars can advance through the green light. This suggestion would fix this problem.

This is a somewhat quiet neighborhood. There are cars that use this road as a racetrack. There is only 1 speed limit sign posted at 25 mph, and nobody pays attention to it. Many young families walking with strollers, bikes and pets.

On Rt 69 Woodbridge about 1.5 miles north of the Merrit parkway underpass, there is a place where the southbound traffic has a passing lane which extends right into a blind curve! No way a car driving northbound around that bend could react to a car in their lane coming southbound. It is if the state painted the passing strip on the wrong side. The CT DOT has been notified and yet does nothing.

This is an awkward intersection, where Fountain Street (CT-243) meets Rimmon Rd. (CT-313). Park Lane is a small residential, dead-end road that is directly before the Rimmon Rd fork as you come up Fountain Street. It's a fairly sharp right turn, so you need to take the turn at a relatively slow speed.

Unfortunately, you are at great risk of being rear-ended when you do this, because most drivers assume your right turn signal means you're turning onto Rimmon Rd, which is a gentle fork without a stop sign or signal, so you can negotiate that turn basically at full speed. I can't tell you how many near accidents I've seen here.

I think the ideal solution is to build a rotary at this intersection, as it would not only solve this problem, it would improve turns between 243 and 313; another option is a dedicated turn lane on westbound 243 only for those cars turning onto Park Ln. At the very least, some signage warning of the sharp right turn onto Park Ln might help. In any case, the town and/or state should study the intersection and do something to help alleviate this terribly dangerous situation.
