Dangerous Intersection Concerns in Birmingham Neighborhood
Families living near the intersection of Eton and Sheffield in Birmingham have raised safety concerns about crossing the street. They report that many drivers do not stop at the stop signs, creating a hazardous environment for pedestrians.
Resident Experiences and Observations
Kimberly, a local resident, described the four-way stop near Woodward and West 14 Mile as “an accident waiting to happen.” She highlighted that drivers frequently speed and ignore the stop signs, endangering children and families in the area.
“People are flying through the intersection and they’re not paying any attention to people around them.”
Local 4 visited the intersection during a weekday morning to observe traffic behavior. While no speeding was noted at that time, many drivers were seen performing slow rolls through the stop signs rather than coming to a complete stop.
Concerns About Speed and Safety
The speed limit in this residential area is 25 mph, but many drivers exceed this. Tim, Kimberly’s husband, shared his concerns:
“When I’m driving along here, most people are driving much faster than that. I’ve been passed on Eaton in the residential area doing 25. They’re very dangerous.”
Kimberly expressed feeling anxious when crossing the intersection and worries about the safety of the neighborhood pedestrians.
“I’m paranoid when I have to cross here. We walk the neighborhood a lot and it scares me.”
Possible Solutions
The couple believes implementing certain changes could improve safety for everyone in the neighborhood.
