Traffic Signals

There is a school flasher traffic light that’s blinking all night. I think it was worked on recently and now it’s blinking 24 hours a day. It’s a real nuance at night.

When trying to turn left from Kimble Dr. onto 3rd. St. it takes multiple pedestrian light cycles to recognize there is a car there. Often the main 3rd. St. light will only change if someone is trying to turn right. This has happened on many occasions with adjusting the car to register the weight sensor.
General connectivity east to west and vice versa in this town is atrocious. While folks recognize that pedestrians and bikes are vulnerable groups in forms of travel, vehicles in the Midwest for all commuters and visitors in this metro area cannot navigate well at all. It appears engineering will finally be working on a project to help timing across facilities and infrastructure in town, however PLEASE ensure coordination with the state happens because those areas are the most crucial east to west and are never prioritized or fixed. It should not take 20+ minutes to get from downtown to the west side. It is getting ridiculous. Citizens Hope this gets better especially as increased density seems to be the only desired path forward for the city. Fear it is only going to get more congested with increased travel times by vehicle.
The crossing button is vandalized and waving signal is not possible. Southeast corner of E Smith Ave and S Walnut St
Green light seems to be dead
The east-west signal at Covenanter and College Mall Rd remains a persistent problem for cyclists. The signal seems to be triggered at best by a motor vehicle presence, meaning a cyclist approaching the intersection with no car nearby has no way to get a green light except by pressing a pedestrian beg button that is not accessible from the road. This is a recurrent problem that keeps getting marked “closed” but without real evidence that the matter has been addressed successfully for east-west transportation at this intersection. See these past comparable complaints: 11/12/2025 #206750 (when the signal was not even responding to a car) 8/5/2025 #204676 6/26/2025 #203711 4/2/2024 #187457
Signal is in flashing both directions. Traffic not backed up.
E bound on 3rd, left hand lane going straight, at intersection with Kingston - Traffic light (at least the green) isn't working
Left turn arrow turning west (left) from south side of Kinser Pike onto the Bypass is very short. Normally only one car, maybe two can go at a time before it turns yellow. There is a flashing yellow arrow that appears after the light goes red but it is also very short and sometimes doesn’t even appear even if there is traffic sitting in the lane. The short left turn arrows causes traffic to be backed up
When going north on Kinser Pike and turning left onto 46, the green left turn arrow seems unusually short.
