City Performance:
Other: This could apply anywhere in Bloomington, frankly, as it's a persistent issue, so I just picked the intersection where I experienced it most recently. Every single time I drive in Bloomington after the sun goes down, I'm met with drivers who fail (or just refuse) to dim their brights. Ind. Code ยง 9-21-8-51 is still on the books. I'd suggest posting signage along busier roads, but based on how often Btown drivers ignore the "One-Way" and "No Turn On Red" signs, I doubt it would work anyway. If the city has any ideas on a community education measure or infrastructure project that would help remind drivers that, yes, leaving your brights on while encountering another driver/pedestrian IS still against the law - that would be cool.

Thank you for writing and sharing this issue and your suggestions. It is indeed very challenging to correct behaviors like brights, not signaling, loud vehicles, and so on. Even though these may be technically illegal, enforcing them is very difficult to catch in the moment, and of course urgent safety issues and calls take first priority. I will share your comments and suggestions with our teams. Thank you.
