In some places, the road is not wide enough for 2 cars traveling at speed limit. This includes under the Broad Street bridge, and the area around 633 Conestoga st, especially when there are cars parked at the residence, when there are pedestrians or cyclists or parked cars.
(2)Calling out the area around 633 Conestoga st: If there are cars parked there, when I am traveling southbound, I am fully blind to oncoming traffic as it comes around the curve, and as I need to move left to avoid the parked cars. I am average height for a woman, in an average height car, and I can not see over or around the parked cars.
(3)Exiting Conestoga St onto Union blvd or 378 has no traffic light, and can get very backed up.I have seen lots of folks get frustrated and pull out into traffic when it is not safe. There have been a lot of crashes here. Traffic apps, including Waze, Google Maps, and Apple Maps regularly guide people to use Conestoga north to get from downtown to 378. Then they have a hard time crossing Union blvd because of traffic. They would be better served with an alternate route.
(4)As a pedestrian, when walking on Union blvd, there is no easy way to cross the intersections on Union blvd/Conestoga St/378. Slip ramps on both sides of Union blvd mean that cars can travel at a high rate of speed and still turn. Often not signaling. It’s difficult to know when it is safe to cross. Having one less direction of traffic would help. Note that this is access to a trailhead (Monocacy Way) and access to the Colonial Industrial Area / festival grounds. (ps, a crosswalk anywhere would help, too).
