Poorly marked for weight restriction. Multiple overweight and over length trucks on this roadway every day. Local police enforce ordinance but more has to be done to notify trucks they aren't permitted.

Rather dangerous intersection. Multiple crashes occur here every year. Most likely needs a traffic light instead of stop sign.

Flashing lights on all 4 ways of intersection preparing motorists for the light at the whole intersection of market and Pennsylvania Ave the amount of accidents I see here is unbelievable not too mention I've come extremely close twice turning left onto market from south Pennsylvania ave

The entire length of Blytheburn Road pavement is a absolute mess. Repairs are futile at best. Cars swerve into oncoming lane to avoid damaging their vehicle. Weeds are overgrown on the edges of the roadway, leaning into lane of travel and prevent seeing deer on the edges as well as making it impossible for cars and bicycles to share the roadway safely.

I've noticed a lot more bikes in this part of river street over the past year or so, not the safest area but not sure what can be done.

Some people will cross from the ramp to Maffett Street over to River street to avoid traffic backup or because signs are unclear.

Road is washing away on the mountain side. Big area of ground has washed away, and assault is starting to chip away.

Desperately needs to be widened or parking on one side only!
Too narrow a road for paking on both sides and two way trafficLiked 0 times -
Need to put lines coming off market st going over the Market st Bridge intersection of Market & River st. People dont shift over to the right and cut the inside lane off literally forcing cars into the on coming lane of traffic coming from kingston. Same at kingston corners on Rt 11 Wyoming Ave near cvs & walgreens, those lines need to be repainted for the lane shift. And please fix all the manhole sinkage. Bent tire rim repair is expensive.

Pittston Primary Center traffic is out of hand. There is cursing and near accidents almost every drop off and pick up. Cars lined out into the street and they pull out without stopping. Going to work is dangerous every morning.
Calls to the Superintendent went unanswered until finally confronted, at which time they were unconcerned and childish. The Superintendent blamed the Hughestown PD for not patrolling 24/7 when they have 2 schools to patrol. They're supposed to be our town PD, not the school traffic/crossing guard PD. Yet they will ticket residents who park away from the school as there is no street parking and we can't park in the street because of the school traffic.
They added another grade level and did nothing to mitigate the already dangerous traffic on a bad residential street with blind driveways and no sidewalks. This is a terrible location for a school, yet nothing is done to make it safer for the residents. Please do something. The school administration doesn't care.Liked 1 time -
Vehicles traveling towards kidder Street at this intersection consistently fail to stop at the red light. Additional signage may be needed.

115 was always awful for accidents due to speed, but now traffic has increased significantly and is being used by tractor trailers that want to forgo using 476 or 81. This road already has ongoing accidents. The only thing that will slow down traffic is stop lights and speed traps. There is also constant tractor trailer traffic going down the section that is prohibited.

Vehicles speed up Northampton Street in the night or particularly on Friday/Saturday nights. High rates of speed.

Traffic light for N Sherman Street stays Red for long time and only allows 4 or 5 cars out into the intersection when it turns green. It should stay green longer for traffic.

This area of the roadway needs better markings. Drivers think it's 2 lanes of travel. Just before the turnoff to Northampton Street.

This area of the road after Sheetz is dangerous because it funnels drivers into one lane without any signs. There needs to be better traffic control in this area.

Light here would be great! Trucks pull out from 80 off ramp and truck stop right in front of traffic constantly with no regard to 93 traffic.

Area of the Little League field has poor sides of the road. Could use a sidewalk and road markings/signage for pedestrians and traffic.

Several near misses, yield sign not working on ramp. I suggest speed bums and or stop sign. Happened to me several times.

This ramp has a yield sign which drivers disregard and cut off the drivers who have the right of way. This should be a stop sign or put in a large speed bump to force those drivers to adhere to the yield. Someone is going to be seriously injured or killed.
