Stop signs are desperately needed for this intersection. Cars traveling on Maddux speed up and down the hill making it dangerous for any vehicles traveling on Quint and Revere streets.
Really need a 4-way stop sign. The stop signs on Revere Street and hillside of Quint Street is not enough. We stop a stop sign at the intersection of Maddux Ave and Quint Street because it is a blind intersections and the cars travel extremely fast on Maddux. The second sign is needed in at the intersection of Quint Street (1400 block) and Revere Street because cars travel up Quint Street from Palou at high speeds in order to speed up Maddux Street or the narrow Quint Street at top speed.
IT NEEDS TO STOP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HIT OR KILLED!
I see they added a speed hump on Maddux Ave. B/n Thorton and Thomas. Apperently, the issue of speeding cars must have bubbled to the surface somewhere. Can we please get a 4-way STOP at the intersection of Maddux, Quint, and Revere streets. This will also help with the speeding cars.
One solution to slow cars from speeding up Quint is to make that street a One Way going doing the hill since Maddux does have speed bumps at the top of the crest. Plus 4 way Stop Signs would make it safer. Cars on Quint have been repeatedly side swiped by drivers traveling a top speed from Palou. The street is too narrow to be a two way street. Most of the residents enter from the top of hill, at Thomas, and frequently encounter speeders driving up the hill from Palou.
PLEASE PUT UP STOP SIGNS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.
Quint Street needs to be a ONE WAY going downhill with 4-Way Stops @ Quint, Maddux, and Revere streets. More so now that Willie B. Brown Middle School is open and people are trying to bypass the morning chaos on the corner.
I agree. A truck driver speeding up the narrow residential Quint Street in an 18-wheeler hit the postal truck, knocked down the STOP and Street signs when he realized the street ended at Thomas and he had no where to go. Luckily the mail deliverer was not in his truck at the time.
A ONE WAY going down the 1700 block of Quint will force trucks to travel up Silver Avenue, which is much wider, and force speeding cars that travel up Quint from Palou to avoid the speed humps on Maddux to take that route with its speed controls (speed humps and stop signs). The 1700 block of Quint is too narrow for two-way traffic anyways. Most people that live on that street head down the hill to Palou, Oakdale, Revere, and Silver.
