Safety from drivers traveling to fast

32nd Street and Ave B intersection needs to be redesigned. There is too much traffic heading from east to west through the intersection.

There are many accidents at this intersection. People traveling west may be driving too fast and people turning left onto Pacific Ave try to cross which causes collisions. I suggest putting a sign only allowing left turns on green arrow.

fully asphalt e 40th street to have less congestion on south frontage road

Many accidents happen at this intersection because there isn't a light to provide a certainty of turning left, instead people wait for others to make space which is not likely. This is especially true during Winter Visitor Season

16th St interchange is becoming dysfunctionally congested even in summer now, with exiting WB traffic stopped beyond the beginning of the off-ramp at times. Time to start planning eventual conversion to a SPUI or DDI configuration before it gets far worse.

Saguaro neighborhoods have no sidewalk connections to 8E at 40th. Countless kids and adults walk and ride bikes on the edge of the single lane of pavement or on the median.

Some more lighting needs to be installed on this bike path, often too dark to see or to be seen.

When entering the neighborhoods south of this point, there are no sidewalks. Multiple people of all ages use this area to run,walk, or bike and is often a safety concern as motorist are often right next to you.

Some sort of object or visual blockade needs to be placed here to have drivers slow down as there have been multiple (3-4) fatal accidents. Possibly installing sidewalks on the east side, more trees or shrubbery to encourage the brain to see it as a slimmer path, thus making the brain slow down. Speed bumps could be a viable option too. Maybe place some sort of panels with history of the city and the trains on the west side so that it encourages people to take the pathway there. This also encourages drivers to slow down when they see pedestrians in the area.

More bus times from Wellton to the Foothills and the Yuma Mall would be nice

Williams Street and the Union Pacific Railroad
This crossing is a key crossing for north and south traffic in Wellton. The trains have increased in length, and at times, are stopped for long periods causing backups. Wellton PD and Tri-Valley Ambulance are located north of historic HWY 80. Emergency access to the development and Coyote Wash subdivision south of Interstate 8 is delayed when trains stop.Liked 2 times -
Avenue 33E and Interstate 8
ADD access on and off Interstate 8. There are current and future developments as well as the Agriculture industry that would benefit.Liked 2 times -

16th St & Ave B is a frequent location for car accidents. The intersection should be analyzed and safety measures implemented. This morning, July 1, 2024, an accident occurred. Safety will only become a growing concern with the increased number of housing complexes on Ave B (north).

The lanes in this round about are way too narrow. They need to be widened.

A bridge on 8th Street to get to the mall area would relieve a lot of the congestion on 16th Street.

We need an exit/entrance ramp here that connects directly to west side of Yuma. It is so inconvenient to drive all the way to 4th Ave or 16th right in to mid town to get the freeway to go east or west bound.

We need our own designated paved pathway along with landscaping and lights. I see a lot of people that use this to walk and exercise but currently it’s all dirt. This would be a great path to go all the way to the park and aquatic center. This is a no brainer.

There is no continuous sidewalk along Arizona Ave between 24th St and 16th St. As a result there is no safe means to walk north-south between 24th St and 16th St along Arizona Ave without walking in the roadway (Arizona Ave), or through private property.

Need an underpass or overpass at the Railroad crossing. Union Pacific railroad trains are constantly holding up traffic at this crossing.

From what I understand 8 1/2 was originally designed to have entry/exit for both I-8 west and east bound traffic. But due to limited funding at the time, only east bound traffic entering freeway can enter from the southside of freeway and only west bound traffic can enter i-8 from northside of freeway. adot needs to revisit and correct by allowing east and west bound i-8 traffic to enter from either side. right now, anyone on the north of i-8 trying to enter freeway has to go around freeway on n frontage rd in order to enter east bound entry to i-8. and anyone on southside of i-8 trying to go west has to go all the way around
n frontage rd to enter on the north side.
this will become dangerous and unacceptable for community for following reasons:
. new fire station just built. current structure adds 4-7 minutes to travel time going west
2. new temple bing built. this will attract more vehicles to this corridor from both east and west directions
3. over 1,000 homes are being built plus new commercial property within next three - five yearsLiked 3 times -
