Greetings! The traffic lights at the intersection of Walnut and old-37 on the north side of Bloomington seem to have a problem detecting large vehicles (I drive a Durango) on the west-bound side (east side of intersection). This problem has been ongoing since mid-summer when the first maintenance began on the traffic equipment at this intersection. The problem is most noticeable at night when no cars are in the east-bound lane to trip the light. At times I have waited up to 5 minutes and have had to just drive through the red light if no other cars come behind me or pull up on the east-bound lane to trip the light. Often I have to back up and move forwards again multiple times to trigger the light. I live near this intersection and have to drive it daily late at night so this has become a major nuisance. Thanks for your consideration of investigating this issue. Thanks, -Nathan

The red light on Old 37 isn't changing. Some cars are choosing to run the red light. This intersection is an incredibly dangerous intersection to do that. Intersection at North Walnut and Old 37.

This light is getting stuck for SEVERAL minutes every morning. This is a very popular intersection for students trying to get to North in the mornings and this morning I witnessed several of these students trying to get accross that intersection between traffic even with the light being red. It stays at red for the Old 31 traffic for so long that traffic often backs up past Marlin Hills and up the very slick and dangerous hill east of Dunn Street. This is going to cause an accident if it isn't handled immediately. As a parent of a child trying to make this drive every morning as well as myself PLEASE get the timing corrected before someone is hurt.

Hi, I'm reporting this issue for a second time. The west-bound lane detector has been intermittently failing to detect vehicles since work started on this intersection in the summer of 2012. I think Tuesday night this week I pulled up behind a half-dozen cars and watched as each had to drive through the red light (turning left onto Walnut) because the light would not turn green for east-west traffic. The problem is intermittent. Since reporting this problem 2 weeks ago I have found that it won't detect my car if I stop at the new stop line. I have to pull ahead past it, and that still doesn't guarantee it will always work. Thanks, -Nathan

The crosswalk at this intersection is not cycling to "pedestrian walk", despite having the buttons being pressed. This started happening 3 days ago before construction started in the area. Since this is by a large complex by a busy road, I would really appreciate if you could fix this issue soon! Thanks!

I've noticed two days in a row, the traffic "walk" lights along third street (specifically those intersecting Pete Ellis Drive, Kingston Drive, and Clarizz Blvd), buttons are unresponsive in the early mornings. I am not sure if it has something to do with the cold morning weather that these buttons might be getting "stuck" or going to sleep, or having some other electrical issues when it is cold.

I think the traffic signal timing should be modified at the intersection of Country Club and Rogers. During afternoon rush hour (and presumably morning rush hour as well) traffic on Country Club has to wait through multiple light cycles. Traffic on Rogers backs up much less.

Can you please fix the traffic signals at Rogers and Country club so drivers don't get frustrated and do stupid stuff like this anymore: https://www.reddit.com/r/bloomington/comments/1jqvcyk/comment/mlrclbj/ The problem is the light cycles are too short for all the East-West traffic. There will be dozens of cars backed up on Country Club and the light will turn red to let like 3 cars stopped at Rogers go.

The light that was removed from this intersection when Tapp was closed at 37 should be reinstalled due to the heavy amount of traffic especially during rush hours. People needing to turn left are just left sitting and blocking traffic because of being unable to turn.
