uReport

City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Submission Received #206439

Street & Traffic Signs:

Other: Earlier this month I witnessed a driver continue straight east on Atwater thru the intersection with Mitchell- straight into the opposing lane. This was at night and they made it several blocks before seeing oncoming traffic and moving over. I was there in the daylight today 10/22 and the exact same thing happened and they drove the wrong way from Mitchell to Arbutus. For the left turn lane from E Atwater going north onto Mitchell, could we please add a curb/ reflective bollards or a similar quick build solution here to prevent confusion? Thanks for any help here!

Thank you for submitting this uReport and for sharing your observations. We reviewed the location at Atwater & Mitchell and the request to install a curb or reflective bollards in the left turn area. Unfortunately, adding bollards in that spot would interfere with the normal traffic flow on Mitchell and would create new issues for vehicles using the intersection. That said, we appreciate the concern about drivers continuing straight into the two way section at night. We will review the pavement markings and visibility at this location and consider appropriate improvements to help reinforce the correct travel path. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.
