Speeding on Morningside on way to park east
Speeding on Morningside on way to park east
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.
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.
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.
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.
Excessive speeding up and down Maxwell Street
my car has been hit twice while parked in front of my house on W 7th street. It’s been a hit and run both times. They just leave my mirror in pieces on the street. The issue is people speeding and not waiting their turn to go when there are two cars on the street. I’ve had to pay out of pocket to fix my mirror. Not to mention, when I’m trying to get my kiddos out of their car seats, cars just fly by at high speed. I’m just waiting for the day my entire door gets taken off.
2007 Nissan Murano with vehicle plate TK340OOX conducted a right turn at the signal where there was a sign saying "No turn on red" while their signal was red at 10th and union street.
