Eastbound traffic disregarding the stop sign.
Eastbound traffic disregarding the stop sign.
Incident Date and Time Date: Saturday, August 15, 2026 Time: Approximately 1:15 p.m. Incident Location Street Address / Intersection: E. 3rd St. and S. Woodscrest Drive (Bloomington, IN 47401) Specific Location Details: The incident occurred at the pedestrian crossing island/triangle on the south side of East 3rd Street, specifically crossing the pedestrian strip leading directly to the BTown Smoke Time corner (2500 E. 3rd St.). Description of Hazard / Incident While walking on the south sidewalk, pedestrians had already stepped off of the curb onto the painted lines of the crosswalk when the driver accelerated. Pedestrians had to stop abruptly in the middle of the street while the driver sped directly in front of them, passing mere inches from their bodies at a fast rate of speed. After nearly striking the pedestrians, the driver turned right and headed eastbound on East 3rd Street. This reckless disregard for pedestrian safety and yield signage created a severe and immediate life-safety hazard. Vehicle Description Color: White Style: Low-profile, modified sports car / Rear Features: Distinctive "widebody" style with very prominent, flared wheel casings sticking out over the rear tires; highly sloped, rounded trunk/rear end. I am not knowledgeable about cars, but looked expensive, clean paint, waxed, shiny. Other Identifiers: Extremely loud aftermarket exhaust system.
Drivers disregard (Blow through) the 4 way stop sign causing a safety hazard for pedestrians, bicyclists and small children playing in the area. This is a on going issue that needs to be addressed.
Repeated concern of hearing drag racing late at night between the hours of 9pm-1am. Have heard more than 5 times this summer. Don’t know the exact location but can hear it from inside my home. Has to be close by.
Vehicles consistently driving at high rates of speed on Winslow Rd. The detour on Rhorer Rd has exasperated this problem. It would behoove our community if there were some traffic calming measures implemented here, or actual enforcement of posted speed limits by BPD.
There is a No Large Trucks/ commercial vehicles sign posted at this location yet semi trucks for Secretly Canadian consistently use this street for their commercial traffic and have been damaging trees on other street.
I was in my car turning from Fountain Drive onto North Adams Street to head south. There is consistently low visibility for vehicles coming from the train tracks, even when the foliage is cut and maintained, so that's not relevant to my issue. It looked clear after checking twice, so I went. As I was in the process of turning, I saw that a vehicle had gotten over the train tracks and was heading my way, but I was already out in the process of turning, so I had to complete my turn. This caused aggressive behavior from the driver, who I believe had already been speeding down Adams. They started to tailgate my vehicle. I needed to turn to go east (and additionally needed to come to a complete stop to do so because there was a line of traffic heading north), but they were tailgating my vehicle to the point that I could not complete a turn until Patterson Drive, forcing me to turn around and come back North on Adams.
Church goers are parking on both sides of Adams St instead of using the parking lot that was recently constructed to alleviate this issue. With cars on both sides of the street it becomes wide enough for only 1 car to pass and given the bend in the road, you cannot see on coming traffic depending on how many cars are parked out there. This leads to some dangerous situations where someone has to reserve.
Pedestrian crosswalk is treated by drivers as an option they do not stop even when you are already crossing and reached the crosswalk before cars arrived especially those headed westbound coming down the hill
I live on the corner of Jamie Lane and Benson Court with a 4 way stop and people do not respect the stop sign and fly through this is an ongoing issue I am concerned about the children in this area I believe police should monitor this intersection more often to avoid accidents and create more awareness, Thank you.
