Needs a no left turn sign! (From union to 3rd)
Needs a no left turn sign! (From union to 3rd)
Please install pedestrian crosswalk signs so that motorists know they must yield. Currently there are only stripes on the pavement and I almost got hot today crossing third street
Currently there are no "zebra stripe" crosswalk markings at the crosswalk on the west side of Third and Jordan. This lack of a clearly marked crosswalk results in pedestrians crossing with the light, but several yards from the intersection where the lighting isn't as good at night. As an IU Campus Bus operator, this concerns me as it could result in a bus-pedestrian collision. I ask that you consider adding pavement markings on the west side of 3rd and Jordan that clearly shows the location of the crosswalk. Thank you!
Bloomington Muni Code 15.24.020 lists the speed limit on Indiana as 30, however this sign just north of 10th states "Speed Limit 25." I wonder how many erroneous tickets have been issued on this stretch of road.
This sign has been partially knocked over.
Speed limit sign on Atwater approx 100 yards east of Woodlawn appears to be unsecured at the bottom. It's angled off to the side. Sorry couldn't get a picture.
No signage notifying cars of B-Line trail. This newcomer apologetically backed all the way from the bridge over 3rd back to the entry from the convention ctr parking lot. Since the bars were removed, I've seen this a couple times. The Monon trail has a white stripe down the middle, which could help with this problem and with pedestrians veering into the paths of bikes (a big problem with kids.)
Cars are parking on west side of College from 11th to 14th. Are these legal spots?
Based on my experience over the last three years living near this intersection, I believe we would benefit from a minor change to the traffic pattern at 10th and Range. The left lanes on both sides of the street should be converted to left turn only lanes and the right lane should be converted to through and right turn lanes. Currently, drivers need to use the left lanes to turn left and drivers behind them move to the right lanes to pass them creating unsafe driving conditions. I have seen many near collisions. I think this minor change would make the traffic pattern more safe and efficient with minimal costs to the city. As a concerned citizen, I hope you take this into serious consideration.
11th and Grant. This stop sign is just hanging by a single bolt (with no nut) to the pole. And it is also only approximately five feet off the ground unlike the other stops signs in the area that are about 7 feet off the ground.
