Lane markings on Third while crossing Dunn would prevent numerous near collisions I've observed. The lane shift confuses motorists.

This intersection needs a left turn only lane for cars turning off of 10th St. North onto Range Road. Sometimes cars in the lane for going straight swerve into the right lane to get around cars waiting to turn left even though visibility for this is poor and could confuse drivers turning right onto 10th St. from Pete Ellis. Just park in the post office parking lot and observe this intersection around 5 - 6 pm on a weekday and you can see for yourself. A left turn lane would greatly reduce accidents at this intersection.
Poorly timed traffic lights. maybe it seems like a small problem, and maybe its only noticeable during the summer months, but it seems common that cars are brought up to full speed only to have to stop at the next light while traveling a main route (Walnut, College Mall Rd, and Winslow Rd). It would be spectacular to allow the algorhythm thats used o determine when the lights change to be open source and worked on by IU informatics students. My primary concern stems from fuel efficiency.
I think there is no street sign on 3rd St for Johnson Dr. Also, why are there "No Outlet" signs on Johnson & Kimble? Usually these mean the same as "Dead End" - that you can only come out the street you went in. This is not the case. I was heading west, going to Valhalla. I thought I was at Johnson Ave, but did not see a street sign, and the "No Outlet" sign made me think it was not Johnson. Soon came Kimble, so we turned in there and were surprised to see a "No Outlet" sign there, too.
Missing fess at sign
Needs a no left turn sign! (From union to 3rd)
"Stop here on red" sign missing from east side of intersection for westbound traffic.
I'm glad that they white lines for stopping at the stop signs at Rhorer Rd. & So. Walnut St. Pike were moved back some(probably due to bus turning "issues"). However, I think it will only work if the stop signs themselves are moved back to match up with the stop lines. People still continue to stop at the sign itself, causing some turning issues I've seen for bigger vehicles. Thanks.
Request of a hidden driveway sign near 2730 W That Rd. Or school bus stop ahead. People flying over the hill in the morning and afternoon when the bus is dropping off my daughter. People have locked their brakes, squealing to a stop because of driving too quickly in a 35 when my daughter has to cross the street during morning pick up AND afternoon drop off.
Can you PLEASE move the stop signs back at Rhorer and Walnut St. Pike(near Kroger South) to match up with the new white stop lines. Most people don't get where they're supposed to stop and it's usually a mess.
