Maplewood Police reported on social media Wednesday that the department has received complaints about traffic at the Sutton Boulevard / Greenwood Boulevard intersection.
Greenwood drivers aren’t yielding to southbound Sutton traffic, according to reports. Sutton traffic has right of way at the intersection because it crosses the railroad tracks.
I was behind 2 other cars going South on Sutton at RR tracks. First car stopped on other side of RR tracks in intersection, car in front of me was halfway on South side of RR tracks, with me beginning onto tracks. First car just stopped, so car in front of me and myself were sitting on RR tracks. There was NO traffic on Greenwood at stop signs. Don’t know why first car just stopped. Eventually turned West on Greenwood.
I’m sure they would feel the same way if you’re sitting too close to the RR tracks and can’t get onto Greenwood. Gates go down and there you sit.
No surprise. Been like that for decades
It would be really helpful to those at the stop sign on Greenwood if the southbound cars on Sutton would use blinkers. This way those at the Greenwood stop signs would know which way they were going. Just saying.
It would be helpful if all drivers used their turn signals properly!
Are you saying other people’s cars have turn signals??? Wow. Who knew? I was thinking they would use them if they had them.
silly me, what was I thinking.
It would be more helpful if the people waiting at the stop signs would just be patient and just wait regardless of whether the car coming off of Sutton has its blinkers on or not. I’ve been nearly hit several times because the drivers at one or both stop signs refused to sit still at the sign until I’d completely my turn. And before someone says something asinine I do use my blinker there it was the other drivers who were impatient to get where they were going.
