Comments for “Town of Herndon Roadway Safety Action Plan”
-
Very difficult to see from Monroe facing North to traffic traveling east on Herndon Parkway. While at the pool you can constantly hear tires squealing from breaking.
-
Drivers try to beat the red light, run red lights bc they know the green from cross traffic is delayed. All traffic ignores speed limit. 100% protected turns is great but red turn arrow aggravates drivers. How about shorter cycles? To slow traffic and decrease wait times?
-
Families along Cavendish to Runnymede are sitting ducks while enforcement turns a blind eye.
-
Jersey barriers are being jumped at highway speeds. This isn’t just speeding—it’s reckless endangerment of an entire community.
-
We don’t need another traffic study—we’ve got bent poles, broken fences, and wrecked cars as living proof.
-
Five accidents in one week should be a flashing red siren to the Town, yet enforcement here is still zero.
-
Cars are treating Cavendish to Runnymede like a drag strip. At 100+ mph, it’s not a question of if someone dies, but when.
-
This corridor is out of control. Light poles snapped, fences destroyed, and still no enforcement presence.
-
Every time I hear the screech and bang, I wonder if this is the night a car comes through someone’s living room.
-
Cavendish to Runnymede is the most dangerous stretch in Herndon right now—five wrecks in a single week proves it.
-
Drivers are literally jumping jersey barriers at triple-digit speeds. The fact that no one has been killed yet is sheer luck.
-
Five crashes in one week on Cavendish to Runnymede—cars going over 100 mph, hitting poles and fences—this is a war zone, not a neighborhood.
-
Town leaders have the speeding data, the school traffic, and the connection between two major roads right in front of them. The only missing piece is the will to enforce and to install calming measures on Worchester.
-
Every time a study concludes Worchester is not a through street, credibility is lost. Residents live the danger every day.
-
A traffic circle at minimum is required here. Without it, enforcement gaps on Worchester will continue to put families at risk.
-
With speeds consistently more than double the posted 25 mph limit, the absence of traffic calming on Worchester is indefensible.
-
Eight lanes worth of traffic compress onto Worchester every rush hour. Calling that “not a through street” is simply wrong.
-
Worchester is a through street in practice, whether the Town wants to admit it or not. The danger is measurable and ongoing.
-
What’s the point of traffic studies if the data showing speeds over 60 mph on Worchester doesn’t trigger enforcement or calming measures?
-
Herndon Elementary sits at the gateway of Worchester, and yet cars fly by daily as if it’s an on-ramp. Parents are scared to walk their children.
-
It is baffling that Worchester is still marked as “not a through street” when it clearly connects two major arteries. The speeding data proves it.
-
We don’t need another study. We need enforcement, and we need a traffic circle to slow the cut-through traffic on Worchester.
-
The Town has studied Worchester multiple times and still mislabels it. Meanwhile, kids walk to class with cars flying by at 60+.
-
Families walk this corridor daily to school, while drivers barrel through at freeway speeds. Where is the enforcement? Where is the traffic calming?
-
Worchester is a straight cut-through, funneling traffic at high speeds directly toward Herndon Elementary. To call it “not a through street” is ignoring reality.
