Very hard to get out of Academy street when traveling towards South Main Street.

Railroad crossing on Barney Street will break your vehicle if you don't go very slow over it.

This intersection has too much going on. Nicholson St should be one way. When turning onto Old Ashley Rd from Rte 309, there is a yield. Cars waiting on Nicholson St to go straight to Rte 309, or right on Old Ashley Rd, sometimes pull right out as they can't see you. Cars trying to make left onto Rte 309 are also a problem. Traffic can get backed up since it's 4 lanes to cross. Also, Act towing sometimes has some big trucks parked in front of their business that block your vision when trying to proceed on Rte 309.

Cars on Church road have a stop sign when traveling towards Main Rd. But don't stay at stop sign. When vehicle traveling opposite direction are making left turn into Blytheburn Rd, cars at stop sign just take off infront of them.

Blytheburn Road pavement is absolutely deteriorating between church rd and stairville rd. It's to the point the Luzerne county road crews just dump pavement on the road then back blade it to smooth it out.

So dangerous here. One stop sign with three different traffic flows. No one knows who has the right away. There were marking “stop” on the ground but they are now long gone. It’s an accident waiting to happen!

Needs to be a traffic light before someone gets killed trying to make a left turn from John Hienz on Mundy Street.

There is a yield sign on this ramp (coming from Kingston) that should be a stop sign or red light. The majority of drivers miss (or do not respect) the yield sign and go right through it. The other entrance (coming from Forty Fort) to this ramp does not yield, so this causes close calls multiple times a week (I use this ramp 4x a day at least) and crashes.

A stop light is desperately needed here for traffic attempting to turn left coming off of the Cross Valley. It is extremely dangerous at high traffic times!

Very hard to make a left turn from Main Road Buttonwood onto San Souci Highway since left turn was installed for the sewer authorities.

South Church Road to Route 437/Tunnel Road
This section of South Church Road has deteriorated extensively over the past winter. This section was to be repaved last year but funding was reduced and only a small portion of the was done. It is splittng apart and has so many posholes and lack of roadway it is dangerous for all particularly school buses that travel on it. PLease complete the replacement of this section of roadway.Liked 2 times -
It is hard to see traffic coming from S Main Road at this intersection and there is risk of accidents when pulling out from Larchmont Way.

Left turns from S Main Rd onto 309 are hazardous, especially tractor trailers. I have experienced near miss there when I was behind one that turned left, car coming south on 309 skid into S. Main Rd and just missed hitting the front left panel of my vehicle. The trailers shouldn't be using that road. Thank you

Brush is grown up on the sides of the road making it impossible to see what is just around the corner. Also, there are still some major potholes that haven't been addressed since winter.

From heights road turning onto route 29 past Maureen’s ice cream is hazardous for residents to get on to route 29 due to speeding and the sharp corner that is hard to see oncoming traffic. Sometimes due to overgrown brush and in general

Foot deep potholes. Poor or no road markings. Pretty much the whole road is dangerous, especially at night. Also the roadside brush needs trimming
So you can see the stp signs where it meets rt118Liked 3 times -
Timed left turn lights should be installed at the intersection coming from both directions of Church street. People making left turns cut others off because they don’t want to wait and there’s been several incidents of near misses because of it. Or they will run the red light after it changes because nobody can make it through if there’s a lot of traffic.

SR 0115 N/B @ East Mountain Blvd. Traffic travels at high rate of speed. Red light violations. Truck restriction violations. High crash area.

The lack of a traffic light at this intersection makes it very dangerous for motorists attempting a left turn onto Wilkes-Barre Blvd from Route 309

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.
