Light at Rogers and Patterson/Grimes would skipped the Rogers green light heading into town at least 4 times this am in a row. Made me late to work, traffic was backed up to Rockport light. Inn general, the light displays for only 4 cars to go through in the morning- this is unacceptable as there is always traffic lined up.
Stop light is completely off in all directions
There is a road construction sign that has been laying turned over in the grass for weeks at United Commerce Bank (on 3rd Street between College & Walnut) that needs to be stood up or removed. Thank you!
Traffic light completely out
The new pedestrian crossing light on SR45/10th street east near Tamarron and University Elementary School is malfunctioning. It seems to be triggering itself ever 30 seconds or so in the morning at least. This is causing a long line of cars to backup and block Russell Road. I've included a Google traffic view so you can see the problem.
The new sensor traffic lights for north/south traffic at the Dunn/Hwy 45 intersection do not sense bicycles. Because the lights differentiate between the left turn and straight lanes, and most traffic is turning left onto the bypass (in both directions) there are often few cars going straight and the straight green light is often not activated - it remains red and only the left turn green lights are activated. Unfortunately there are not good alternative options for bikers, since there are no bike lanes or paths north of the bypass, so bikes must share the driving lanes with cars up to that point. Using the light is the most reasonable approach for cyclists and bike commuters, as there is no other safe access to get to city neighborhoods north of the bypass.
The attached photo shows the pedestrian signal at the corner of East 3rd Street and Woodscrest Drive in Bloomington. As you can see, northbound traffic on Woodscrest has a right-turn arrow at the same time that pedestrians crossing 3rd Street have a "walk" signal, which puts them directly in the path of the turning traffic. Surely this is not the way a properly designed pedestrian signal is supposed to work! Imagine the lawsuit when a motorist strikes a pedestrian in this crosswalk and it turns out they were both obeying their signals...
Walk signal for pedestrians crossing aAtwater at Henderson is off and dangerous, restricting crossing when it should and encouraging crossing when it shouldn't. I've seen at least one close call. Please fix this! Thanks
Street sign at intersection of Sheffield & Plymouth has apparently been hit by a car (45 degree angle--no pedestrian or traffic hazard however)
Timing issue creating unsafe situations on 46 / 3rd
