This man was inches from my back bumper from third street to 11th street. When I turned left onto 11th street this guy past me on the left fast he turned right onto Lindbergh Drive when I turned right he slowed down then slammed on his breaks and stopped in front of me causing me to break and almost hit him in the rear then he sped off
Resident (or visitor) driving a silver Ford Edge (IN-214EKW, I think) turned left (west) onto 11th Street from Lincoln and sped down the entire block against the one-way posted direction to get to Washington Street. This short block has no sidewalks and visibility is difficult given the mature, evergreen conifers in the area. People and animals are often walking in the street and are not expecting a careless driver to travel in that direction. This is definitely not the street to drive down the wrong way. Please advise this person that rules are there for a reason, and unilaterally disregarding them due to perceived inconvenience is selfish and uncivil, in addition to being a traffic violation.
cross walk lights are nice but drivers still dont stop when the cross walk button is pressed. have a officer sit around bmw motorwerks from 4-6pm they could right tickets for 2 hrs straight

People treat this traffic light as an optional stop sign. Even if the light is solid red (not blinking), if cars have seen a pedestrian finish the crossing or don't observe a pedestrian they continue through this red light. BPD could set up in the switchyard parking lot and rake in $ from all of the traffic violations here. More enforcement and maybe making the light always green (unless a pedestrian is crossing) would force car traffic to better respect this light. No one takes it seriously as is and I have seen multiple bikers/skaters/walkers almost get hit as they make the cross when the crosswalk is still clearly lit up.

A police car (#129) turned right on a red light, despite a big obvious sign that says NO TURN ON RED. They did not have their lights or siren on. This was at 5:11 pm on Aug 28, heading west on 3rd street, turning north onto Rogers. These signs are meant to protect pedestrians. Aren’t cops supposed to model legal behavior in traffic?
Following up with case #193627: at least one of the residents at 801 N. Lincoln is driving west on 11th Street from Lincoln (against the One-Way direction) to get to the parking places. Even though it's only a half-block, they should obey the rules because people walk on that street regularly (there are no sidewalks) and they are not expecting a car to be racing toward them out of the blue from the wrong direction. You can tell he has done it when his parked car is angled toward the NW.
Wednesday evening 7:30pm: maroon Toyota Rav4 with New Jersey license plates traveling west on 12th Street turned south on Lincoln (against the One-Way direction) and then speeded to the alley where it turned and parked in the back (north side) of this house. This almost caused an accident, and is a recurring problem with this particular address and vehicle ever since August when the new occupants moved in. Likely an undergraduate, possibly one who is either illiterate or just intellectually handicapped, or perhaps the person simply feels entitled to break Indiana driving laws (maybe there are no laws in New Jersey), but more likely it is just an inconsiderate, self-serving, and dangerous person who disregards rules that s/he deems inconvenient and someone who needs to be held accountable. Please do something about this - pedestrians (human and otherwise) rely on the manner and direction of traffic to be consistent and are not expecting vehicles traveling at relatively high rates of speed and headed in the wrong direction.
My husband and I frequently have to use this intersection to make a U-Turn to go back West on Third street. 99% of the time, people will not yield to the sign that says to yield to the U-turn and/or they run red lights from there or off of westbound 3rd street traffic. We have lost count of the many times we have came extremely close to getting hit and involved in an accident. Just the other day we again attempted, with our green arrow, to make a U-Turn and just when I began, two (both Westbound lanes) ran their red light and went straight; ironically with A State Trooper sitting right beside us! Traffic on W. Third has gotten way out of hand. We have constantly seen vehicles running red lights (many times two at once) not only there but all the way back to the W. Third and 69 bypass intersection along with improper lane changes that nearly hit us. We are scared and stressed to the max each time we go to out. Can someone PLEASE help?
