closed: Can't Fix #198682

Street & Traffic Signs:

Other: This traffic light's lack of a green left turn arrow is a safety issue that, if not fixed, will continue to cause drivers problems and accidents. On Thursday, September 26, 2024, another driver and I were involved in an accident in which my car and the other driver's car were totaled. I was turning left onto Dunn Street when the next thing I knew, I was t-boned (pictured above). If someone had been in my passenger's side they most certainly would have been seriously hurt or dead as the entire passenger's side of my car had been imploded and my passenger's side mirror had flown from the passenger's window into the driver's backseat. While the result of the accident was a lack of yielding, this does not undermine the danger of this light as I am positive, I was, or have not been, the only one in this situation at this light! If a green arrow had been programmed into this light, this accident, and many others (I’m sure) would never have occurred. A small change can make all of the difference. This light is the only light on the E Indiana 45 bypass without a turn arrow and with its location being so close to the stadium, a hotspot for students, residents, and football spectators! it is full of traffic going in and out of campus, apartments, residents, game day traffic…! Having an arrow would make everyone safer and decrease the number of accidents in this area. Please put a traffic arrow at this location and help prevent further accidents.
