The vast majority of cars do not yield to pedestrians looking to cross the street using the crosswalk at the intersection of 3rd and Grant. Oftentimes when a car in one of the lanes yields to a crossing pedestrian, cars in the other lane will not yield and drive straight through the crosswalk when a pedestrian is attempting to cross. My concern is that eventually a pedestrian who thinks they are safe while crossing will be struck by a driver not aware of the law. I think Bloomington PD could generate a lot of revenue from tickets in just one day by having someone monitoring that crosswalk. Putting in a new sign that says the law is to yield could also be a solution.
Excessive speed and noise along College Mall Road from motorcycles. They are racing up and down the street at a high rate of speed. While cars are an issue, the motorcyclists are more disturbing and prone for an accident.
I live on Southern drive, which is a side street off of Walnut. I have noticed people speeding on Walnut and it has become increasingly dangerous for other drivers who are following the speed laws. Is there any way that there could be more of a police presence who can run radar and could possibly reduce the speeding on this road? I think it would really help! Thank you!
There needs to be a traffic circle or something at Prow and Arlington because it is a nearly daily issue at the intersection - unprotected and inexperienced drivers. -Sam Dove, samudove@gmail.com
There needs to be a roundabout or traffic light at Prow & Arlington, because it is a nearly daily issue, twice a day, because the intersection is an unprotected free-for-all PLUS inexperienced drivers.
Blocking an alleyway/street. Not accessible through - have to go all the way around.
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.
The crosswalk signs at the intersection of Atwater and Indiana (near the Henderson Parking Garage) only show the "walk" symbol every once in a while - I usually just have to wait until traffic slows enough to cross. I know this is common practice, but I usually try to wait until the "walk" symbol shows so I have some degree of protection (legally) if I were to get hit. This is especially the case for this intersection because people ALWAYS run that red light, and apparently drivers don't understand what a "no turn on red" sign means.
Cut through traffic heavy heavy heavy on Morningside with closure on 3rd. That the designated route? Please provide signs for detour if not. Also please assign police officer to monitor now and again in construction. As speeding through neighborhood. Thank you.
