Responded to the requester and explained that the signal is under INDOT’s control and that their rush-hour timing concern was submitted through INDOT4U.
Other: The southbound lights on College Mall Rd. by IHOP need to turn green before the left-turn signal turns green on westbound E 3rd St. The southbound light stays red and left-turning cars get stuck in the intersection even though the light just turned green. The turn light turns yellow before the southbound light turns green. I've both been stuck in the intersection and stuck going eastbound on College, being blocked by turning cars stuck in the intersection. This only occurs during rush hour but it always occurs during rush hour.

Thanks for describing what happens during rush hour. The timing of this signal is under INDOT’s control, so I’ve sent your description to them through INDOT4U for review. In particular, I noted the concern about left-turning vehicles being caught in the intersection and blocking other traffic. You can also follow up directly with INDOT4U or call 1-855-463-6848. We can’t promise a timing change, but INDOT is the agency that can check the sequence and decide whether an adjustment is needed.
This seems to be a timing issue with the state maintained traffic signal at 3rd & 46 bypass, which causes traffic to block the intersection during congested situations.
