There is no sign indicating 'Arden' street at the intersection of High and Arden. It makes it complicated giving directions! Thanks.

As a resident on the east side of Bloomington, I often find myself on 10th street because it is a main artery through town. I've always wondered why there isn't a designated left turn lane with a left arrow traffic light to help the traffic flow at the intersection at 10th and Pete Ellis. The designated lanes are as follows. Left turn/Straight and a right turn lane. People who turn left aren't able to do so easily because it's a busy street and people who wait behind them are forced to try to re-enter the traffic flow because other cars decide to use the right turn lane to go straight. Unless I'm mistaken, creating your own lane of traffic is frowned upon, so I'm constantly frustrated by the fact that I sit patiently in the left/straight lane behind a car waiting to turn, and then as I'm entering the intersection, have to watch out (yielding to cars that have decided to go around the situation) to avoid getting sideswiped. Perhaps the city developers could look at this particular problem and re-designate the lanes or use resources to get a new light with a left turn arrow. I can't be the first person to have complained about the safety of this intersection.
Hello! I live just off of the intersection of 5th Street and Bryan Avenue, right next to the IU Raintree House. I've noticed that one of the stop signs at the four way stop is missing, the post and all. I've seen people driving right through without stopping, and then realized that the sign was completely gone. It is the stop sign on the north east side of the intersection. Just wanted to let somebody know. Thank you for your help!
The stop sign at the corner of S Heritage Rd and E Morningside Dr is very faded.
Street sign is missing at corner of High St and E Rock Creek Rd, as well as, at corner of E Rock Creek and S Stratford Dr
Stop sign knocked down
See attached photo from Google StreetView. The "curve ahead" sign in front of the fire station at Woodlawn and 12th is no longer appropriate now that Woodlawn Avenue goes across the RR tracks.
The Stop Ahead sign on Indiana Ave between 3rd and 4th is missing. The sign post is still there, but I noticed the sign is gone. This is right by the front steps to the Law School.
I travel west on Moore's Pike between 8:30am and 9:00am every weekday morning. In the past few weeks, traffic is often backed up from High St. nearly to the Roundabout on Moore's Pike. When this occurs, it takes 3-4 cycles of the High St. & Moore's Pike/Hillside light to get through the light. If there is a way to increase west bound traffic flow through that intersection and allow side street traffic to enter the Moore's Pike roadway, during that time period, it would be a good thing.
Hello, The portion of the 446 between the Gentry East entrance and the newly constructed Gentry Park Senior Living is currently marking the median as dotted line, meaning passing is allowed. This does not seem to be a good idea considering that there are quite some traffic going in and out both from Compton blvd (Gentry East property) and from Gentry drive (Gentry Estates property) to 446. I had a near-collision incident yesterday. I was going to make a left-turn toward the Compton blvd from southbound 446. At the very moment of turning left, I happened to see my side-mirror to find a car was speeding up toward the opposite lane to pass the three cars all at once. I was fortunate to be able to make a stop to avoid the collision. Yes, that driver must be an idiot but I would like to ask the City (or State) to do something for this. As long as this portion of the road allows passing, there are potential dangers for the cars traveling this portion of the road. As the Gentry Park Senior Living is becoming open, the situation could be getting worse. Please make this portion of the road passing not allowed both ways. Thanks.
