<p style="text-align:left;margin:10px 0;padding:0;color:#656565;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:12px;line-height:150%">BREAKING NEWS -- The traffic lights at 11th and Constitution are to be removed and replaced with three-way stop signs under a plan proposed by the District Department of Transportation. <br>
<br>
DDOT is seeking comments on the proposal until May 5.<br>
<br>
The removal of the traffic lights is "due to concerns about the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists," <a href="https://gmail.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=cd03b4a2ee6db9673fa1f5edd&id=36b359784c&e=545555a4b2" style="color:#656565;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">DDOT said. </a><br>
<br>
The proposal brought strong reactions from neighbors. <br>
<br>
"An intersection is less safe for pedestrians, as well as drivers, with a stop sign than a traffic light," said Mark Ugoretz, who frequently walks with his dog, Riley, through the intersection. "The 11 & Constitution intersection is highly congested in the morning and evening with fast moving cars that will not stop for pedestrians crossing with a stop sign."<br>
<br>
Others were unsure. "I really need to sleep on this proposal but I doubt that changing to the four way stop will make it any safer for me unless there is some type of enforcement which there will not be," Susan Kitun said. <br>
<br>
"The intersection is a safety hazard regardless of the control mechanism," said Kip Knudson, who lives a few doors down from the intersection. "Perhaps a speed camera on 11th between Constitution and Maryland and a red light/stop sign camera at the intersection are the only things that might encourage drivers to slow down."<br>
<br>
Under the plan, traffic signals will be flashing red for 90 days while a safety evaluation is conducted.<br>
<br>
The DDOT notice said, "Based on a review of volume and crash data for the study intersection, it has been found that neither traffic signal norHAWK signal warrants are met under the 2022 volume conditions. As such, DDOT intends to initiate a formal traffic signal removal process."</p>

<br>
ANC Commissioner Amber Gove seemed to champion the proposal, citing a blog. "Want to learn more?” Gove wrote in an email. “Here is <a href="https://gmail.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=cd03b4a2ee6db9673fa1f5edd&id=a5db355e2e&e=545555a4b2" style="color:#656565;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">blog</a> on the topic, as well as a <a href="https://gmail.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=cd03b4a2ee6db9673fa1f5edd&id=26033c09db&e=545555a4b2" style="color:#656565;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">study</a> of similar signal-to-stop sign conversions in Philadelphia (TLDR: crashes were reduced by 24%)."<br>
<br>
When you go to the blog, you see it links to data from 1978. That's not a typo. <strong>1978</strong>.<br>
<br>
"<strong><em>While it would be useful to have more data</em></strong>, the main study on this subject, from Philadelphia, is compelling," the blog states, referring to moldy-oldy data. "It recounts the <strong>1978</strong> removal of 462 traffic signals due to a <strong>1977</strong> state ruling disallowing signals at intersections with limited traffic. In almost all cases, the signals were replaced by all-way stop signs. The overall reduction in crashes was 24 percent."<br>
<br>
The study was published<strong> 25 years ago</strong> based upon the traffic changes made in Pennsylvania <strong>46 years ago</strong>. We are not making this up. <br>
<br>

<br>
The notice came as a shock to the local neighborhood and it is unclear who requested it. Like a lot of things in the city, such as the inept crime code, the idea seemed to emerge out of nowhere — yet attributed to all-knowing, mysterious “data.” <br>
<br>
"I can’t see how a three-way stop will make anybody safer, and I think people are at least more likely to stop for a light than a stop sign," said Helen Betts, a resident on 11th. "Interesting that this was the result of a 'neighborhood request' — I have to wonder if that’s true, and if so, who might have made that request."<br>
<br>
Mary Farran, who lives on 10th Street NE, said crossing Constitution where there is a stop sign only requires death-defying derring do.<br>
<br>
”It's a terrible idea to change that intersection from a traffic light to a [three] way stop,” she said. “I can't imagine why anyone would think otherwise and I don't understand the reasoning behind DDOT's proposal.”
