Description

NY City just lowered their speed limit from 30 to 25 mph. I am sure at the intersection of Orange and Trumbull Streets two accidents could have been avoided were the victims going anywhere near 30. No lives were lost. . .only injuries and property damage.

Coming into the intersection off I-91 the ramp speed has a sign for 35 mph.

The intersection has another unfortunate feature. The road surface has a drop from one level on west side of the intersection to a slightly lower elevation at the base of the on-ramp alongside Trumbull. Add the various potholes and you have trucks bouncing through the intersection, especially their speed is excessive.

When the Fucci project completed after the sewer work, they repaved the Length of Trumbull from Prospect to Orange and across the intersection. Smooth new pavement brings speed until you hit the rough old road and then you get noise.

Post a speed limit. . . start with 30.

Repair the road surface to quiet the traffic.

Enforce.

Please.
