This is a very dangerous curve located at the intersection of 420 Lighthouse Rd New Haven (Morris Cove), CT and Marion St. New Haven(Morris Cove), Ct.
This is a main road to get to Lighthouse Point Park and people unfamiliar with the area as well as people from the area speed around the curve. Almost every time a car comes out of 420 Lighthouse rd it is almost hit by a car coming around the bend. There is a Blind driveway sign posted right before the curve but is ignored. There is a park where children play and have to cross this area of the road to get to the park. Children are in grave danger here. We do not want another child hit by a vehicle in the city! A stop sign where the blind driveway sign is posted would be much appreciated by all in this area for the safety of all.

Ditto Mark's comment from above. Traffic calming measures are definitely needed along the entire length of Lighthouse Road. Existing crosswalks are also faded at numerous intersection along Lighthouse Road
Many people use Juliano Park right near this intersection of Lighthouse/Marion. Its only a matter of time before someone speeds around the blind curve at Marion St and either broadsides another car pulling out of a driveway or a pedestrian crossing the street. Seriously, this spot might be a prime contender for a modern ROUNDABOUT

This intersection might actually be a great place for a roundabout, perhaps a mini-roundabout...Like the two that were recently put on Woodward Ave. The right-of-way is probably there. Considering that many motorists roll through stop signs and don't come to a complete stop anyways, a roundabout would do just as well. Speeding is a serious issues along Lighthouse Road, and with the curve at Marion St visibility is seriously limited. The fact that Juliano Park is right there just increases the need to improve this location. All of LIghthouse Road could benefit from traffic calming. Perhaps improvement to this intersection could be the start.
Also, there is a mirror frame at this intersection...but the mirror itself has been busted out for a while. Seems like a simple fix at the very least.

Speed humps would work. Several speed humps (instead of 1 or 2 here and there) could/should be installed to minimize speeding along longer stretches of Lighthouse Road.
Note: I’ve heard there is a virtual Zoom public meeting scheduled for 3/16/21 at 6pm to discuss traffic calming for Lighthouse Road. Meeting signup info is forthcoming.
