Shrubs on SW corner of intersection of Walnut and 11th make it difficult to see Walnut Street northbound traffic while waiting on 11th to turn left (north) onto Walnut.
Turning left/south onto Rockport from Ralston is frightening. This morning I almost got hit. I do look north and south several times each before turning out. From the north cars are coming over a hill, and we can't see far enough south onto Rockport to see a car coming north. The trees on the SE corner of that intersection need to be trimmed way back, regularly. Thank you for listening and helping!
Southbound traffic cannot be seen to east heading motorists at the intersection of sixth and washington.
There is a line of sight issue turning right out the Goodwill Store parking lot. The trees and vegetation makes it very difficult to see oncoming traffic, since Liberty Drive makes a bend right at our access drive. An article was ran in the Bloomington Herald Times by Marci Creps describing how hazardous this intersection is. We would like to have this resolved as quickly as possible, given the bad publicity we have already received from this issue.
Overgrown bush blocks visibility to the west
Attempting to turn left onto Hillside onto Washington is extremely difficult during high traffic times. Contributing to this is the very poor sight line when attempting to see oncoming traffic - the hill up from walnut blocks westbound traffic to a degree, and the porch structure built to the property line at 202 E Hillside makes it very hard to see eastbound traffic. What could be done to make this intersection feel less perilous?
Bushes along williamsburg prevent cars turning out from in front of barnes and noble from seeing northbound traffic that doesn't have to stop
DANGEROUS! Turning left on to Vernal Pike form Crescent Rd, the site line for 17th St is terrible. LOTS Of near accidents. Needs a traffic triggered stoplight!
Turns onto 3rd street from Overhill Drive are very, very dangerous! It is basically a turn into a 5 lane road. I was going southbound on Overhill Drive making a left turn onto 3rd, but I was unable to see incoming traffic from eastbound 3rd street which was being blocked by cars stopped at the stoplight on westbound 3rd st. They frequently have to slow down to let me in and sometimes I have to swerve my car into the center lane to avoid an accident. The problem with that though is that sometimes westbound people on 3rd street wanting to turn left on Woodcrest Drive speed through the middle lane and almost crash into me while I am turning left onto 3rd street. It seems like the connection between Overhill Drive and 3rd street should be blocked off because there is no traffic light onto the 5 lane road which has high traffic, and due to the stoplight at 3rd/Woodcrest, all the stopped vehicles are blocking the view of oncoming traffic.
