Going east on 10th street after the 45/46 intersection, the two lanes merge into one as the road becomes SR 45. Drivers who are turning left to enter the Cyber Infrastructure parking lot will consistently stay in the left lane; ignore the merge; and drive through the yellow demarcation area. This is dangerous when a car has already merged to the right and is entering the turn lane as designed. It is also dangerous if a car follows the turning car with no intent to turn themselves but to continue on SR 45. It seems like the left lane should either be marked as turn only, or barrier cones or a median should be installed to better enforce the demarcation area.

The two blocks of S. Banta Ave that connect Tapp Road to Ralston and West Graham have no sidewalks, and many children live in the vicinity (including my own). The Broadview Learning Center's playground a few blocks away is a major draw for the neighborhood children, both in houses and in apartment buildings up and down this road. However, the lack of traffic control on Ralston and the ability to cut up Banta Avenue from Tapp Road during times of the day when the Tapp/Rockport intersection becomes congested due to commuter and other traffic (especially those using it as a means to connect to 37), means that cars race up Banta to speed around the corner and shortcut to Rockport. Since the neighborhood children have no sidewalks here, or on Graham (which is a major route to the only park that is easily accessible), it is incredibly hazardous. If the city won't oversee the creation of sidewalks on these busy "shortcut" roads, could some signs and speed bumps be put in? Particularly on Banta, which is built on a hill up one side and down the other, irresponsible car traffic makes all the parents (and neighbors) frightened for our children. Additionally, the triangular corner of Rockport and Graham and Banta has no shoulder trimmed back from the large pine trees there, which not only makes it difficult to see around, but more hazardous for the many bus patrons that get off at the Countryview Apartments, and are forced to cut through the private property on the opposite side of the street, rather than risk being hit by a motorist that can't see them around that corner.

I have reported this intersection (Allendale and Winslow) before. Motorists run through the stop signs on Allendale on a regular basis. I see this at least once per week (I live in Sherwood Oaks) and each member of my family observes this as well, so it happens a LOT. Several years ago I was told you were going to install bigger stop signs and put on on each side of the road to make them more visible. Nothing has happened. Perhaps a glowing/flashing stop sign such as they have in other cities? Thank you, Kim

This intersection has become more and more dangerous in the last few years. I work at Curry Buick in the sales department and I have seen many near misses. Any vehicle traveling east on Buick-Cadillac Blvd and approaching the intersection at Auto Mall Road is somewhat hidden due to the fact that the road is curved behind the cars parked in the vicinity. I would suggest either painted curbs to open up the sight lines or even a 3 way stop. I hate that we have to keep stopping the traffic in order to control, but this area has become more and more a concern.

The intersection of Winslow Road and Allendale is unsafe. As a resident of Sherwood Oaks, weekly I witness people driving through the stop signs on Winslow Rd. or not obeying right of way. In addition, there is no safe way for pedestrians to cross Winslow from Allendale to the multi-use trail that is on the North side of Winslow (leading to the Winslow Sports Park and YMCA). This is a very wide intersection and it is not one that motorists easily see pedestrians because of the width. A flashing light, a pedestrian crossing sign, or pedestrian crossing painted stripes on the roadway would help. Sherwood Oaks and neighboring areas have many walkers who use the crossing and it is not safe to do so. In particular for children who cross the street to the park on foot or bike.

Can a "No Left Turn" sign be placed at Union St when heading south at the 3rd street intersection? Drivers constantly try to turn left there, impeding traffic and causing dangerous situations. The heavy 3rd street traffic makes it near impossible to turn left (East). Individuals will wait 10-15 minutes to turn or eventually give up. Drivers can be seen pulling in front of other drivers attempting to make their way in. Thank you and have a great day.

Walnut St northbound - opposite the 40mph sign for southbound traffic, there used to be a 45mph sign for northbound. This sign disappeared 20 or 25 years ago & has not been replaced.

Hello, I just wanted to suggest installing traffic lights or adding round abouts at the entrances/exits at Bloomington North. The area is extremely busy around 7:30am and 2:45pm with inexperienced drivers. It’s very difficult to get out of the school. The other area is N. Prow Rd turning onto Arlington. It’s actually pretty unbelievable that there are no lights or added safety precautions for students driving this route daily.

This is the worst stop ever for a bus stop. On two occasions, I have witnessed close calls by drivers stopping very hard and abruptly. It's at a location where the two lanes into the roundabout begin, but cars stop making everyone behind them stop. Very, very, very, very BAD location for a bus stop.
