Descrição
Larger signs are needed to make traffic yield at the monument. Cars travel too fast down Monument Ave at this intersection. Two pedestrians were hit and injured yesterday while trying to cross the street. A crossing guard is needed for Orchard House School on Allen Ave.

they use stop signs.
Eliminate the yield signs and put stop signs up, assuring that drivers do not enter the circle at speeds that are too high.
After all, they are supposed to look for the signs indicating what the rules are, which in this case is "yield to traffic in the circle" and "15 MPH limit". The vehicle that slows to 15 MPH is very rare. Most do yield, but do not look for pedestrians, including those with strollers or walking dogs.
Equally, I constantly observe drivers turning right from the left lane, across the right lane traffic, which is both a hazard and a blatant violation. Allen St. has only one lane, entering the circle, which has two lanes. Rather than entering the outside lane, remaining in the outside lane, and exiting from the outside lane, vehicles consistently cross to the inside lane, back across the outside lane, through to Allen.
STOP signs would force traffic to see and enter the circle as a traffic circle, rather than treating it as an intersection with a warp in it.
STOP signs would allow pedestrians the opportunity to cross the street safely, without having to guess at the behavior of random drivers.
STOP signs would not allow traffic to enter the circle at 30 MPH, which they do.
So, can we get some support for installing STOP signs at the TRAFFIC CIRCLE, at Allen St. & Monument Ave. , please.
