This rail trail crossing needs a Rapid Flashing Beacon ASAP like the ones at Ocean Road and Breakfast Hill Road

ReplyThe sensors could be again modified and set back to be triggered before bikes arrive at the road - giving advance notice to drivers. (See Phillips Exeter on Front Street pedestrian crossings)

This intersection is a pedestrian nightmare. It handles a huge volume of pedestrians, including most all tourists parked at Foundry Place and the Bridge Street lot that are walking to Market Square. The signal operations need to return to the way they were prior to July, 2020 when all lights in all directions turned red at the same time. This allowed pedestrians to safely walk perpendicular or diagonally across the intersection within the painted "X". Current signal operations clearly favor speed and mobility of vehicles rather than the safely and comfort of pedestrians.

Teens/ older kids need to be able to get to the athletic fields at Community Campus, but currently West Street to Campus Drive is not pedestrial or bike friendly. While there is a shoulder, there is no designated bike lane, speed is usually 30 - 40 and no sidewalk.

ReplyWest could be improved, but more importantly I think there needs to be a direct connection from the (coming) Peverly Hill path to Community Campus via the DPW driveway (as originally planned). The dirt road is there but not open to the public.

Also, signage could direct riders to the much quieter (unnamed?) access road between West and Lafayette. -

I bike from our place at 445 Ocean Rd to Rye Beach. The Portsmouth roads don't sidewalks for good buffers from cars. (The Rye roads have wider roads for biking.) There's a lot of knotweed and other things growing along Ocean road that make biking challenging. I'm looking forward to riding on the bike path but even just getting there is dangerous.

Traffic from Daniel St. has a stop sign AND stop bar at this intersection. Maybe a raised crosswalk could deter impatient drivers from breaking the rules?
