The Issue

The intersection of Erin Street and Troy Schenectady Road in Latham, NY has become increasingly hazardous due to the lack of a 'no turn on red' sign. This absence allows vehicles turning from Erin Street onto Troy Schenectady Road to do so even when the traffic light is red, posing potential risks for pedestrians and other drivers. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, intersections without proper signage are twice as likely to experience accidents compared to those with clear instructions (NHTSA). By implementing a 'no turn on red' sign at this particular intersection, we can significantly reduce these risks and ensure safer roads for our community. We urge local authorities in Latham, NY to take immediate action towards this issue. Please sign this petition if you believe in making our streets safer for everyone.
