Nuisance Lights:

Other: The light cycle that lets outlet traffic from Deborah Drive appears to take longer and is timed. This change is not necessary as there is not enough traffic compared to Tapp Road to justify that length of a light cycle. Also if the city should ever consider it that merge lane when heading east on Tapp road should either become a two lane all down Tapp to accommodate for traffic flow to pass around left turners into The Mill OR be gone entirely. It just permits risky drivers to go into the right lane at this intersection knowing full well there is a line of cars waiting at the light cycle and that the lane merge is right after the light and they choose to "race" traffic and cut in when it is unnecessary. Even if one would argue a zipper merge there are times when it is necessary and in a populated neighborhood area it is not.

Thank you for sharing your concerns about the signal timing and the eastbound lane configuration at Tapp Road and Deborah Drive. We are looking into the signal operation and understand the frustration of being stopped when there does not appear to be traffic entering from Deborah Drive. We have also logged your concern about drivers using the eastbound right lane to pass queued traffic before merging. We do not currently have a project planned to extend or remove the second eastbound lane. Either change would need to be considered as part of a broader safety and traffic review, particularly because this area is close to the interstate and involves INDOT jurisdiction. We will keep the concern on record for consideration if a future project or coordination with INDOT provides an opportunity to review the lane configuration.
