uReport

City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Can't Fix #169041

Traffic Suggestions:

Web Form: At the intersection of 6th and Rogers, cars regularly block the entrance/exit to the Near West Side neighborhood when they move from the 4-way stop at 7th and Rogers to the intersection of Kirkwood and Rogers. I would suggest marking the 6th and Rogers intersection with a "Don't Block the Box" pavement marking. Something needs to be done to stop vehicles in both directions from blocking the intersection of 6th and Rogers.

location evaluated constituent emailed with following response: thank you for taking the time to submit this uReport and I apologize for this delayed response. We had an engineer evaluate and observe this intersection on multiple occasions during peak traffic times. The City's policy is to only use "don't block the box" pavement markings at locations where left-turning vehicles from the main road block traffic behind them such that queues form through a signalized intersection. We don't use the marking at every intersection where a side street is occasionally blocked, because then the marking could be installed so frequently that their effectiveness would likely be reduced (and maintenance costs would greatly increase). Thanks again and please feel free to follow up with any questions,

Will this affect pavement markings with the Fairview school/ Rogers project?
