Green light for left turn signal arrow (when facing IHOP) does not work. Light cycles from red to yellow arrow (no green arrow turns on anymore).
Green light for left turn signal arrow (when facing IHOP) does not work. Light cycles from red to yellow arrow (no green arrow turns on anymore).
The green left turn light coming out of the mall on the street between Fazoli's and BJ Brewhouse onto South College Mall Rd is inoperative. This causes the left turn lane to only get the yellow caution signal for a few seconds before the light goes red ( the main light issred if no one trips the signal to cycle from the straight ahead or right turn lane.) so then the left turners are sitting at the light until the right hand lane trips the (Main) signal to cycle to green.
Left turn green arrow to head south on college mall road from the westbound road into eastland plaza from college mall is dysfunctional
Green Left turn signal bulb on IHOP side of street is burnt out.
Bloomington's traffic signal timing is, in general, inadequate. Traffic patterns in the city are highly variable, changing drastically as students arrive and leave with the university schedule and as new student housing is constructed. It would be wonderful if the city were to invest in a system which changes traffic signals in real time as a function of data collected from sensors at intersections. Surely there will be graduate students, postdocs, and faculty in the Luddy School eager to help out with a cool "smart city" project...
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.
The traffic lights are out.
Traffic is backed up all the way to nearly Childs Elementary because of the Sare road closing and detour. The stop light at High and Hillside needs to be reprogrammed to allow more traffic through going north and south.
The crosswalk signal on the northwest corner of the intersection of 3rd and Rogers is not displaying the white walking person signal. It does show the orange hand, so the entire unit is not out. But the walk symbol is not working.
The north/south stop light at High St/Moores Pike is not programmed correctly. The southbound traffic always goes through the left hand turn signal phase of the light, regardless if there is a car in that lane or not. This creates extended delays for the northbound traffic, especially since there is a no turn on red sign for northbound on High. This is has been like this for months, but it’s especially important now that the Sare Road construction project is rerouting a high volume of cars into High St.
