Make Susquehanna Av. a one way street turning left off the bridge. So Susquehanna would be one way right turn onto the bridge moving with the flow of traffic into Pittston. Vehicles turning left off the bridge back up traffic on the bridge into Pittston and safety becomes a major factor.

Roadway is significantly deteriorated. There is inadequate width for two way traffic so drivers have to move into oncoming traffic.

Huntsville Idetown road has been a hazard and mess for nearly a decade. It has more poorly installed patches than original paved road. I live near the road (40+yrs) and can't remember the last time it was actually milled and repaved. I drove my motorcycle on it recently and it is dangerous. Somebody is going to get hurt or killed on the road between Huntsville Dam and Jackson Rd.

Main Road and 309, poor visibility due to a blind corner and trees and bushes.when trying to turn right from Main to 309. Cars going south on 309 often exceeding speed limit and many tractor trailers also on 309 S.

Very faded school zone signs—almost unreadable. There are multiple that need to be replaced in both directions.

This area needs a concrete divider here to prevent vehicles from making a left turn into Dunkin. There are signs in place stating no left turn, but people just ignore them. If there is not enough room fir a concrete divider, then part of the curbing and sidewalk needs to be reconfigured. They did this just 500 feet before this area to accommodate parking for businesses right before the Forty Fort borough building. This can also be done at this location too. If not, the driveway entrance to Dunkin must he closed off from Wyoming Ave. This would be the safest solution, but the worst solution for the business Dunkin.

This area has been an issue for years and years. When traveling north on Wyoming Ave in the far right lane, all traffic must turn right only. This only seems to happen about 75 to 80 percent of the time. When a vehicle decides to "just" go straight, and not turn right, they force the vehicles in the other two lanes into each other, which will eventually cause some sort of accident. Even though there are road marking defining where each lane is instructed to follow, some drivers drive through the intersection the incorrect route. A more permanent solution would take part of the curb and sidewalk away, and have a more sweeping angle for the right turn onto Market St, along with a low concrete divider, or rumble strips directing this far right lane to turn right everytime.

when entering rt 29 from the sugar notch on ramp there are 3 lanes to choose from. when continuing to 81 north there should be a merge sign to eliminate a "drag race" to the single lane

Roadway is deteriorating causing vehicle to move out of their travel lane into oncoming traffic. North river street requires total rebuild / redesign to west pittson bridge. The entire corridor / roadway is inadequate for the traffic flow .

North River Stteet Wilkes-Barre people speed and cross over the double yellow lines. Crossing over double yellow lines is illegal.
I travel North River Street Monday through Ftiday to get to work and I see how impatient some drivers are and they pull out of the double lines and speed past the driver almost causing an accident
Absolutely definitely something MUST be done right now to put a stop to this.
Please do something NOW to prevent serious injuries or death's
North River Street in Wilkes-Barre ABSOLUTELY DEFINITELY MUST BE LOOKED AT RIGHT NOW TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATHS
Please don't wait on this issue!!!!
Thank youLiked 1 time -
There is no sidewalk or other safe route for kids walking along Main St to or from the Wilkes Barre high school. It is especially dangerous at night because there is also inadequate lighting. A fatality is inevitable.

Pulling onto Centre Street from Luzerne Street is extremely difficult because vehicles parked on Centre Street block the line of vision, so you must start partially entering Centre Street before you can fully see whether vehicles are approaching in both directions. I realize parking is necessary on Centre Street for businesses, but I wish at least one or two parking spots closest to the intersection could be eliminated to improve the line of sight. Thanks for listening.
