Excessive speeding (meaning more than 5 mph over the posted speed limits) continues on 17th St. This includes very large trucks (semis, construction trucks, etc.) and even some MCCS busses. Some vehicles go way over the speed limit. Suggestions for improving this situation? Even adding just one more mph sign each on both sides of the road might help (at least help those drivers who tend to drive more or less at posted limits).

Traffic backs up all the way to fourth street and beyond as many people try to turn left onto East Third Street. Sometimes you can sit there for 10+ minutes if someone is attempting to turn left. Please consider making that stop sign a “No Left Turn” sign as well. There is a stop light just a block east that people can use to make the left turn onto East 3rd.

Ever since the city created the bike lane on east seventh street between Walnut and the University the street has become a drag strip. Stop signs were taken away and people are traveling at excessive speeds. The condition has become exacerbated by an increase flow of bike traffic at various times of day. A person traveling north on Lincoln to safely cross must now watch the high speed vehicle traffic, the pedestrian traffic as well as the bike traffic. Visually it is a very difficult task to take in all of the information at the same time and the problem is that it is difficult to take in the bike lane when you are looking across the street at the pedestrian and high speed traffic. Bikers heading east come over the hill from Walnut and accelerate into the intersection. The curbs are extremely high and one cannot enter seventh street from Grant heading west without turning into the oncoming traffic lane or hitting the curb and damaging tires. On Monday I approached Seventh and Lincoln from the south around five o’clock pm. There was so much activity I missed a biker traveling west. I missed the person because there was simply too much to watch. Yesterday I made the decision to stop crossing Seventh St altogether because it was just too dangerous. I took a route that brought me from the west into the intersection. The city has now placed crosswalks without any warning signs of change all around the university and now pedestrians are no longer waiting for traffic to clear before attempting to cross and are now entering the crosswalks into the traffic flowing east and west with the expectation that it will stop, effectively a stop without a stop time. As I approached from the west to turn north onto Lincoln the east and westbound traffic had completely stopped for the cross walkers. Five persons on scooters zoomed into the intersection from south Lincoln and crossed through the stopped traffic. A six scooter, a straggler followed, suit entering right at the point when it had appeared to have cleared. These people should have been governed like the rest of cross traffic but instead acted effectively as pedestrians. Obviously no one was looking for them and they were traveling at a speed closer to a car than a pedestrian or biker. A dangerous situation has now been worsened by an intervention. We have spoken to the police officers in the neighborhood and obviously they cannot conceivably be there to do the work that traffic sign regulation had accomplished effectively for years. I can no longer move directly in my neighborhood because it is simply too dangerous. I am going out of my way to avoid the dangers and still cannot do that safely because of the chaos. We are going to see a scooter death or a bicyclist death if something is not done to prevent it. At least the City will be on notice when the lawsuit follows.

Why isn’t the speed bumps painted in a yellow or some time of color, so we aren’t tearing our cars up just going the speed limit? Please paint them. They blend in with the road.

Will the City work with Duke Energy and its contractors to properly manage traffic around the work of Duke de-beautifying Bloomington? The flaggers are not helpful and not managing traffic in an efficient way to keep people moving safely around the work. As a driver, you are just on your own to try to figure out what some person lazily waving a flag in the breeze intends for you to do, and go head-on against oncoming traffic who also has no clue what to do.

The intersection of Brighton and Baldwin is really badly designed

The traffic management by the company doing construction at the intersection of Henderson and Winslow is really frustrating. I know disruption is expected with construction, however, I would expect: 1. some clear signage, both in advance (there's nothing on Henderson/Walnut Pike)) as well as directing traffic (literally construction guys pointing fingers at this large, busy intersection with multiple turn lanes. Not effective or safe. And they have the audacity to yell at some of the cars not listening to their unclear pointing). 2. I would expect some respect to get traffic through when they can. I sat there for 10 minutes this morning when there was multiple instances where they were in between tasks and could have let us go for a few minutes, but they kept us waiting.

Drivers who have the right away in the intersection, traveling East or West bound, do not know the stop signs have been removed and is now only a two way stop. Drivers will sit in the intersection confused for 2-5 minutes at a time, when they could continue their travel given the right away. There needs to be some sort of signage to signal that east and westbound traffic does not need to stop at the intersection.
