Traffic Signals

519 E 10th ST

Case Date:
8/12/2026

The light at 10th and Indiana has been functioning differently this summer. Heading east toward campus on 10th St., the stoplight now first offers the left turn arrow with a red ball. Since there is no left turn lane, those of us wanting to turn left cannot make use of the green arrow until cars ahead of us get the green ball and proceed through the intersection. If even two cars at the lead are going straight, the left green arrow disappears before left turners have a chance. With classes resuming and 10th St. traffic returning to its usual intense busy-ness, I'm hoping the light can be fixed to offer a green left arrow AND ball immediately to assist with flow of traffic. Otherwise, left turners will struggle - likely 0-1 will go through per light cycle - and those behind the left turner will be delayed going straight. It would be wonderful if 10th were ever widened there to accommodate a left turn lane, but historically the proper green left arrow/ball simultaneously has worked sufficiently for traffic efficiency. Thanks!

Why isn't the traffic signal at W. Kirkwood and Rogers St set to flashing red while Kirkwood is closed. A 3-way stop would be much better than a light going through it full cycle causing back-ups on Rogers.

Traffic Signals

College & 3rd

Case Date:
7/30/2026

When College was reopened, the traffic signal was not calibrated properly for east-west traffic and has caused MANY near collisions. Here's the issue: After southbound traffic gets a red, the westbound signal turns green 1.5 seconds before the eastbound signal. This is because the eastbound signal is timed with a Leading Pedestrian signal, but the westbound signal isn't. The westbound signal turns green as soon as the east-west crosswalk light turns white. This isn't a huge issue, since the south crosswalk doesn't get used right now due to construction. However, this 1.5 second lead has caused many near collisions between south-turning drivers and eastbound drivers. South-turning drivers get a green, and the eastbound drivers don't start moving (because their light is still red). So south-turning drivers begin their turn, believing the eastbound drivers are letting them go. Then eastbound drivers get their green and enter the intersection while southbound drivers are turning into it. I thought south-turning drivers were just running a red until the third near-collision. Then I walked to the intersection and timed the lights to figure out what was happening. POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS SOLUTIONS: 1) Program the westbound traffic light with the leading pedestrian interval 2) Remove the leading pedestrian interval for the eastbound light 3) Reinstate the protected left turn for westbound traffic (so they get the green arrow before eastbound traffic gets a green signal)

295P

Case Date:

It appears the light is now changing to green for southbound vehicles at Bryan/High even if there's no one sitting there. It used to only turn green if someone was waiting or had tripped the sensors. This is causing backup traffic along 3rd Street and delaying northbound High Street traffic from turning.

Traffic Signals

602 S High ST

Case Date:
7/27/2026

This light is on a timer, rather than sensors, so people just sit waiting even when there's no traffic coming from other directions. It's especially annoying when the left turn arrows engage when no one is there. I've reported this light for about 2 years now. Very inconvenient and frustrating to sit and sit when no traffic is coming from other directions.

2600 W Tapp RD

Case Date:
7/26/2026

Pretty sure this light used to be on a sensor and now it seems to be on a timer. The past else real Sundays I've driven through some time between 10:15am and 1:30pm the east-west has turned red with zero cars in the north or south sides of the intersection. And no vehicles have triggered it but then turned right onto Tapp. With much less traffic on Sundays it'd be great to have it (back?) on a sensor.

2600 W Tapp RD

Case Date:

The light at Tapp Rd and Deborah Dr has been triggering to green for Deborah Drive with no traffic present. It's stops Tapp Rd for 40 seconds for no reason. Can this be fixed when it's only green when there is traffic on Deborah vs randomly for no reason?

2150 S Walnut St

Case Date:
7/22/2026

The traffic light at Walnut Street and South Drive had been going to green for South Drive for no reason for weeks. It makes Walnut red for 50 seconds while cars back up on Walnut and there is no one on South Drive. It's ridiculous. Go fix it. Make it stay green on Walnut.

Traffic Signals

506 W 2nd ST

Case Date:
6/30/2026

The traffic signal for southbound traffic on Rogers heading to the intersection with 2nd Street is a mess. Why is there no left turn arrow? Why is the light only 18 seconds from the time it turns green to when it turns red again? The detour for College Ave. being closed to southbound traffic goes onto Rogers south to east on 2nd, yet this is the best setup we have? An 18 second traffic signal with no left turn arrow? Brilliant.

S Deborah Dr

Case Date:
7/19/2026

Traffic signal turns approximately every 20 seconds no matter if there are any vehicles trying to enter Tapp Road from Deborah Dr. Something has changed with this configuration. It used to be that the Deborah Drive light only changed when there were cars waiting to turn. Backs up traffic unnecessarily
