I frequently see cars cutting through the Dunkin’ Donuts parking to bypass the traffic light at the intersection of S., College, Mall Rd. and the IHOP parking lot.
Please begin monitoring traffic speed on Smith Road (between Third and Moore's Pike). The traffic generally does over the speed limit. There are no stop signs, no crosswalks. It can be dangerous to cross at Brownridge, Brighton, Fenbrook.
On S. Walnut, the Dairy Queen's drive thru line was spilling too far into the street. This is unsafe and could lead to accidents like the one I was in today.
Drivers are constantly running the stop signs at Sheridan/Southdowns and Woodlawn intersection. I see it personally every single day. This is also a pedestrian crossing area and someone is bound to get hit someday.
Cars speeding on stands drive between Rogers Rd and Olcott park. This occurs especially on weekdays a little before and after 3:00pm. Thanks.
Smartphone use while driving is a huge problem in Bloomington. Almost every time I get on the road as a driver or cyclist, I see people staring at their phones while driving. Why aren't cops patroling the streets for this? It's a huge contributor to traffic accidents, and it makes me scared to ride my bike. People do it while they're stopped at stoplights or even stop signs, which is dangerous enough, but I see it all the time while people are driving! The tell-tale signs are swerving, driving very slowly, and obviously seeing someone's head pointed down toward their lap. The police should be focused on eradicating this habit before an innocent pedestrian or someone else dies.
3 cars and trucks rolled through stop signs at b-line crossing.
Speeding on Morningside on way to park east
kids are being dropped off directly onto South High St while drivers (parents?) are stuck in traffic. With the exception of the well staffed and operated crossings, the stretch from the traffic circle to the school entrance has become an unsafe free for all. Back ups during drop off and pick up extend from school parking lot onto high st,then up E Rogers and E Winslow. Not an easy place to flow that many cars and people but creating a safer situation should be considered.
