City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Can't Fix #164852

Traffic Signals:

Other: RRFB at allen&walnut doesn't work - northbound traffic does not yield. Went through twice on bike at about 9:30-10AM today (June 18), activated the beacon, and both times, SB traffic yielded and NB did not *at all*. I did not investigate the flawed design - that's planning&transportation's job.

Mr. Alexander, Thank you for submitting this uReport regarding the beacons at the Allen-Walnut intersection. I'm sorry to hear that you've had bad experiences at this crossing. The beacons are intended to draw more attention to people crossing Walnut at this intersection. The majority of feedback we have received has noted that while not all drivers stop, the yielding has improved. Some users have had initial confusion that they have to push a button to cross each direction of traffic (you have to push a button while in the median island). I am guessing you know that, but thought it worth noting. I will also note that based on my observations yielding has decreased slightly with the nearby construction work (more signs to read as well as nearby merging and lane shifts). Thanks again for sending this note about your experience and we will continue to monitor and evaluate this intersection.
