Question: I live at the end of Doon Avenue in Kennedy Heights - a dead-end street. At the beginning of the street, there is a three-way intersection forming a crossing pattern like a normal four-way stop - Dante, Doon and Glen avenues. There is no stop sign in any direction, not even a yield sign. This seems very dangerous. Why would this situation be allowed to continue to exist? - Matt Luken, Kennedy Heights

        Answer: Cincinnati Traffic Engineer Steve Bailey said there remain a few isolated intersections within the city that are uncontrolled. All of these intersections have very low traffic volumes, no record of accidents and were historically subject to informal rules of the road for traffic control.

        More often than not, citizens bring these remaining isolated locations to the city's attention and some form of right of way is provided.

        In this case, the city will install stop signs for the Doon and Glen avenues approaches to Dane Avenue, Mr. Bailey said.

        Q: Why is there is no left-turn signal off of Madison Road going westbound to southbound on Edwards Road in Hyde Park? The other three lights at that intersection include left-turn signals. - A. Matthey, Hyde Park

        A: Mr.Bailey said the need for a westbound left-turn arrow has been reviewed at this location. Observations indicate that although left turns can be difficult at times, motorists are able to turn at the end of the signal cycle during the yellow period. The area shows no significant accident problem, so a left-turn arrow is not justified, Mr. Bailey said.
