The wide left turn encourages people driving to chase the yellow turn signal

Yeah, the light sequence is way too fast on Rose Hill to Capitol via Vista (going from Bench to Downtown). Once the light is green to turn left onto Vista, cars speed up to catch the green light onto Capitol -- and I don't blame them. That light is super long.

Heading West on Rose Hill to turn left on Roosevelt is a headache. That turn arrow needs a flashing yellow arrow. It would alleviate the problem of sitting there on a red light when no one is eastward bound. You can easily see the oncoming traffic. I find it easier to cut though neighboring streets to avoid that light. I do that everyday.

This can be a dangerous corner. I have seen cars coming up Rose Hill run the red light even at 4:30-5 p.m. time frame. slow down the traffic.

Traffic at Rose Hill and Latah can be dangerous. A number of times I have seen Rose Hill traffic run VERY red lights.

This is a dangerous intersection for pedestrians crossing Vista at this light. I always check to make sure no on is heading for the right turn on Rose Hill, and try to make eye contact with drivers - but there are still times when I have almost been hit by cars turning right. And, for people crossing Rose Hill, they really have to be careful of cars in left turn lane on Vista who race to get through that light as cars come up the hill. Do something to make this corner safer.

This is a really long crosswalk for pedestrians to cross Rosehill and drivers from North bound and South bound Vista take the turn really fast. A lead time on the pedestrian walk signal to allow pedestrians 5-10 seconds head start before drivers get the green or flashing yellow arrow.

Overall, Rose Hill is too small and narrow to accommodate the current traffic volume.
It doesn't help that there is access to downtown at one end, and (eventually) access to major routes like Franklin & Orchard at the other end. Linking these two is Rose Hill, a two-lane motorway with no turn lanes. If a person needs to turn left against traffic, everyone else bunches up behind them and there's usually no recourse to go around due to parked cars. When traffic finally clears, people floor it to 40+ mph to make up for lost time.
Unfortunately, there's no real way to address this that would be publicly acceptable.Liked 3 times

Install 10-foot wide sidewalks along both sides of Rose Hill from Roosevelt to Vista.

Wider sidewalks would help considering that many houses regularly block the sidewalk with cars hanging over their driveways, more ticketing for this might help also. Traffic moves faster than allowed speed limit most of the time making it feel unsafe as a pedestrian having to step off of the sidewalk because of a car blocking the path

Very dangerous intersection as there is no visibility to the east due to curve in road and parked cars. Either need to straighten road, eliminate parking for 300-feet east along Rose Hill, or install traffic light.

Main problem is Shoshone and Peasley are so close together, along with the curve. A regular traffic light at either street would back up traffic on Rose Hill and getting out of either street would be much worse.

There should be a protected crosswalk: many people, me included, like to cross the street here and it is almost impossible to do so between 4:30 and 6pm. Many school children cross in this area as well.
Cars are TOO FAST and almost never stop, even when their traffic light ahead is red!Liked 2 times

I live on Rosehill and mobility options don't feel safe. Walking can be fine, but I've almost been hit by drivers running red lights while I'm crossing and there isn't great lighting on this street, so walking at night doesn't feel safe. Biking is a nightmare - the street is so congested that, when you bike on the road, passing cars are really close when and pushing you into parked cars; but the sidewalk has a lot of vegetation & overhanging branches that biking there isn't necessarily better there. These are general comments for the length of road for this study since there aren't really points along the road where it feels calmer or safer.

I live near this intersection and people are always speeding through it or flooring it when the light turns green. I'm not sure what calming technique would help here but I'm certain a nice painted pedestrian lane could help for both speed and foot traffic to Jefferson Elementary. The crosswalk lighting could definitely use some modern ADA push buttons and lighting upgrades.

I think some good old fashion speeding tickets are warranted, also. I wish there were more traffic officers in our neighborhood

It's very hard to be seen when crossing the street in the crosswalk here. Very few drivers stop when we are trying to cross here on foot, and when I drive here it is hard to see when people are trying to cross. Maybe the crosswalk isn't marked well enough.

Not having sidewalks on Owyhee make it extremely dangerous for walking yourself, a baby or a dog!
Like Liked 2 timesOwyhee also has a silly speed of 30 mph! They come down the street like a street rally.
Like Liked 4 timesSidewalks on Owyhee from Rose Hill to Cassia would be amazing! I would gladly give a portion of my front yard for a sidewalk as would several of my neighbors. Currently people fly well above the already high 30 MPH speed limit. Would like this reduced to 20 or 25MPH with sidewalks as this is a main route for children commenting to school.

Also, the crosswalk across Rose Hill would only be increasingly ingnored with a roundabout. -
I've had people cut me off coming up the hill and turning into the Taco Time driveway multiple times when I am heading towards Vista on Rose Hill. This is a dangerous spot for the entrance especially when people turn left into it.

I agree but I'm not sure what could be done besides move the drive entrance more west to the alley way. It's only bad drivers who try to take a left across traffic. It's only meant for right hand turns.

People still don't stop here even when we push the signal button. It needs to be a flashing red. The yellow doesn't do anything.

I agree, cars either dont see the flashing yellow or dont care. It is still very tricky to cross here. Flashing red or a stop sign would help.
Like Liked 3 timesI absolutely agree. As a regular runner/walker at this intersection, cars are often going too fast and not paying attention at all and don't stop despite the signal

I’ve never felt comfortable letting my kids cross Rose Hill anywhere, even in designated ‘crosswalks’

I agree! I often drive this route home and it is incredibly dangerous. You have next to zero visibility until you’re already in traffic. I fear it’s an accident waiting to happen with car vs car or worse car vs bike. The curve at Peasley and Rose Hill is also very dangerous for pedestrians for similar reasons. I would prefer to have a traffic light installed here.

Absolutely agree that you are well into the middle of the street if Rose Hill by the time you can see oncoming traffic. Street parking should be prohibited all along Rose Hill on both sides.
