People driving up Baxter have no idea how dangerous it can be on rainy days, as well as on dry weather SPECIALLY if they have worn out tires.

Accidents every night due to cut through traffic a major hazard due to WAZE app and not knowing this neighborhood!. REMOVE IT! Our face legal action when someone gets injured or worse!

This is an extremely unusual street intersection with particular dangers. It really should be removed from Waze recommended routes.

Please remove Lake Shore Ave. from rush hour routes all of our garages abut the street. For those of us who use our garages, for our cars and not storage, we have to back our cars out directly onto the street. It is nearly impossible to do during rush hour with all the crazy jerks racing down our streets. I have 3 kids in car seats and fear that one of these days they will be killed by one of these jerks racing through. More over Baxter is the steepest street in Los Angeles. Daily during rush hour at least 1 if not more cars gets stuck at the top because they stop due to traffic and their fear of the hill causes mayhem. Also we have trucks that frequently lose their loads on the hill... At leas once a week. Even I have nearly had head on collisions from people dodging debris and fearing the hill. These drivers do not obey posted speed limits and they parade down our streets. Our once quiet neighborhood where we could cross the street without fear has become a game of Frogger and with 3 kids under 5 years old it is irresponsible for Waze to ignore this request.

This has become a serious concern for those of us living in and around Baxter St. There is no indication to drivers of the steep grade and blind spots on this street, which has led to extreme neighborhood congestion during rush hour and potentially dangerous situations as drivers panic, fail to make it up the grade, or try to turn around/back down the hills. Please remove this route from Waze before something even worse happens.

Please do this, because people barely stop at the stop sign when they reach the bottom of the hill. Makes it dangerous for parents going to pick up their children at the school right down the street.

Remove Baxter Street, Whitmore and Landa. Too steep, too narrow and too many blind corners. They're best navigated by residents only. Stick to Glendale Boulevard; it may not be quick, but it's safer.

The streets are steep and narrow. People walk their dogs and children play, and there are 2 schools on ECHO PARK AVE @ BAXTER. The masses of people driving thru our neighborhood , not aware of such, are causing chaos = accidents, and harm, and is just unsafe and unruly for all.

PLEASE remove these routes! Someone will be injured soon by drivers that aren't familiar with driving on steep grades.

Accidents and near-accidents occur nearly every day on Baxter because of the dramatic increase in traffic. I doubt if WAZE indicates that Baxter is a steep hill and is dangerous in the rain.

I wrote to Waze directly about Baxter and unfortunately, got a stock response from them about how Waze benefits the city. If they are ignoring people's attempts to notify them of a safety hazard, what's the next step to hold them accountable?

Especially in wet weather, this street is NOT to be traveled in large numbers or by the inexperienced REMOVE Baxter from Waze Routes!

Please take this route off. It's a dangerous street for those not used to incredibly steep hills.

Please remove Lemoyne, Lakeshore and Baxter from your maps. People driving through our neighborhood during morning and evening rush hour are speeding, inconsiderate of the people who live here and often inexperienced with driving steep grades.

My family is greatly affected by this horrible mess everyday!

The neighborhood streets are barely two-way. Generally one has to pull over to allow someone to proceed in the opposite direction. This is not possible with the traffic density we are currently experiencing, nor do the unwary drivers understand this. As a result, people get stuck on the very steep hill and often, once momentum is lost, are unable to move forward... so they roll backward into oncoming traffic.
