There needs to be either a traffic light or stop sign placed on USHERS ROAD at Wood Dale Drive. The traffic is easily moving at 10 mph over the speed limit at most times of the day. [It's almost as if it is a very long on and off ramp to the Northway] making it hazardous for people/children to cross Ushers Road to get to the pedestrian foot path. As a local law enforcement officer put it, catching traffic violators on Ushers Road is as easy as hunting baby seals. The BRICK entrance marker to the Country Knolls development has been completely plowed down by drivers twice in the last ten years. Please change something here before someone is seriously injured or killed.

Leave the intersection alone, except for the repaving that's needed at the corner.

I would like to agree with the 3 previous posts that a traffic signal is probably not warranted in this location. In order to be justified a traffic signal must meet "warrants" listed in the National MUTCD and or the NYS Supplement to it. If you're really interested yo can review them here:

I wasn't sure of current prices for installations so I checked with several signal professionals and they confirm that a simple traffic signal installation for a location such as this would be in the range of $100,000 to $120,000 for an installation under contract, not including the design and the long term maintenance of the signal.
I am sympathetic to your concerns. I live in Country Knolls South (36 years) and at certain times of the day it is difficult to make a left onto Plank Rd.
If you are concerned about pedestrians crossing Ushers Rd at this location and since it does not appear to have crosswalks I suggest that you contact the Town Highway Superintendent or the Town Supervisor via the Town Website.

Don't assume that all jurisdictions are monitoring this SeeClickFix ... some do, some don't..
