Less than 5 years ago, 2 new stop signs were erected on Clawson Road. These are on a bend on Clawson Road where Crown Drive enters Clawson Road. A stop sign at Crown Drive has been present for many years and is surely required. However, the 2 new stop signs are more confusing and not required than anything else. Nobody in the neighborhood respects them, which is apparent, because nobody stops at them. They are stop signs in middle of a continuous road. There is hardly ever any entering or exiting traffic onto Crown Drive. This neighborhood is over 60 years old, with many residents living here for all of these years. They do not stop at these signs, maybe a rolling stop at best. This is more of a cause for an accident, then how it was before.
Today, a vehicle traveling too fast ran the South stop sign, then due to a vehicle approaching the stop sign from the North, the driver turned too fast and ran into the property located at 4512 Clawson Road, damaging the fence and home. This has caused panic and outrage among the neighbors, who agree that the 2 new stop signs are a detriment, rather than a benefit. Please remove both 2 new stop signs on Clawson Road at Crown Drive.
Note: The signs were erected a day before a builder put a house on the market. The house was doubled in size, then flipped. This would be the only house that may benefit from 2 new stop signs, as now the house and driveway are within the intersection. However, now the entire neighborhood must share in the detriment that these signs present in their daily lives.
