We need "No U-Turn" signs on all left turn cut-outs on the Bypass. I have encountered people making a left where the isn't a street to turn into simply to make a U -turn. This holds up traffic in the left lane of the 2 lane Bypass and creates a dangerous driving condition. I think people are making a U-turn on 45-46 going NW to avoid traffic on East 3rd and then tasking a right onto East 3rd to go into campus. It might have to be something physical to prevent such anarchistic driving. thanks

I am concerned about the parking on the west side of N. Maple Street near 11th Street. There seem to be "No Parking" signs all along N. Maple Street from 17th Street until you get close to 11th Street and then they are missing. This is quite dangerous as the school buses and city buses leaving the area traverse Maple Street as do cars. There are a few cars that park almost directly at the stop sign significantly hindering traffic flow and causing danger, in my opinion. I appreciate your looking into the safety of our city streets.

hi! first, i'm wondering what's up with the striping on third street between Jordan and Indiana Ave(by campus and frats). The left lane striping has been moved about a foot to the left, off center, narrowing the lane substantially; ie, off mid-way between the two lanes, confusing to drivers. I almost got into an accident, who swerved into my lane, no signal, I believe mostly since the lane markings have been manipulated and are unsafe and unclear. Second: you guys did a fantastic job on the bypass expansion. Now, there needs to be markers at all the medians and intersections that have newly installed medians. At night, this is a nightmare, ie, making a turn and not seeing the island. There are no markers for the medians. There are numerous examples of this all over town, predominantly related to bypass expansion though. So, for example, all along the bypass, between 3rd and College/Walnut intersection. There are no signs that a median exists and to remain right of center. These are needed up and down 3rd street, near Woodscrest/high, and downtown near 3rd and college/walnut. Its impossible to see the median at night; there is no yellow paint, no markings indicating any kind of median, making it very unsafe. This also includes needing a sign at Clarize, heading North, past the stop sign, behind Kmart, where the road splits and the island begins. There is no sign indicating an island and to stay to the right at the split. Thank you for making our roads safer by considering these safety measures. Jay

Is it possible to change how the lights at 2nd and Rogers be made to sense cars waiting at the light. Tonight we waited and waited while nothing came by. Thank you. I like this updated application for our smart phones. Much improved, thank you again, keep up the good work.

We leave in a neighborhood with a dead end street called South Covey. Many people speed while driving on this street ignoring and disobeying the speed limit sign. It is very dangerous to be spending time with our kids outside our house when people are driving by extremely fast. Some bushes cause blind spots to drivers and pedestrians which can easily cause an accident if not paying attention. There are six families (including mine) who have two kids each. Some of the kids are toddlers, some are 4-7 years old and are still learning to cross the street. Our neighbors and I have been discussing different preventive measures to avoid an accident because of the lack of signs to let drivers know that children are playing in this neighborhood. I'm writing to request a sign that will let drivers know that children are playing constantly. A sign that will keep our children safe and where they can enjoy outdoor activities in our neighborhood. A "Slow, Children" sign will be effective so drivers can drive slow and watching out for children playing. Also, we want to request a speed bump so drivers slow down every time they pass this street and be more cautious of their surroundings. My neighbors, family and I will greatly appreciate if you can take immediate action in this situation. Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions regarding this matter. Sincerely, Adriana Spencer (915) 727-4265

Need to clearly mark traffic lanes on 3rd street heading west thru Dunn Street intersection - it appears as one wide lane since the bike lane was marked and there are two lanes of traffic, in a curve. Thank you.

I work at IU at 201 N Indiana in the "International Programs" building. Cars go the wrong way ALL of the time & it's so dangerous. Using either images or words, I suggest 2 "Do not enter" signs on the back of the 2 stop signs on Indiana at 7th, a "Left only" (or 'not right') sign on 6th at Indiana, & "Do not enter" on the back of the stop signs on 6th at Indiana. Happy to explain more. Deb

Poorly timed traffic lights. maybe it seems like a small problem, and maybe its only noticeable during the summer months, but it seems common that cars are brought up to full speed only to have to stop at the next light while traveling a main route (Walnut, College Mall Rd, and Winslow Rd). It would be spectacular to allow the algorhythm thats used o determine when the lights change to be open source and worked on by IU informatics students. My primary concern stems from fuel efficiency.
