City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #173991

Website & Web Services Feedback:

Other: I'm writing with a suggestion. I spend quite a bit of time walking and running within Bloomington. Outside of the B-line (where my experience has been mixed), I find that car drivers rarely yield to pedestrians and marked pedestrian crosswalks. I wanted to suggest that the city consider adding flashing lights to the signage at crosswalks, in the hope that it would make drivers aware they're approaching a crosswalk, and be more likely to yield to pedestrians. Thanks.

(No contact info provided.) Thank you for the suggestion. The City does prioritize some crosswalks for flashing beacons that are activated on demand and will continue to keep your feedback mind. Beacons that flash constantly regardless of pedestrian presence tend to quickly lose their effectiveness as drivers learn that they can ignore the lights.
