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.
The speed limit sign is loose the bolt has come out. This is located next to the mail boxes closest to Paper Birch Court.
Traffic southbound on Jordan is always held up by people waiting for the left turn to go east on Atwater. Countless times I've seen that the light has already cycled to yellow by the time northbound traffic has cleared, and as a result cars have backed up all the way to third st. If the switching equipment allows jordan southbound to get green BEFORE jordan northbound, it will improve intersection throughput tremendously.
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.

During peak hours of the day (4-6:00pm), I would like to see a no left-turn sign from east-bound third street onto Rose or Union. In addition, it would be nice to have a no left-turn sign from those roads turning on third street. This area gets very congested during the standard commute to the east side and significant delays are caused by motorist trying to make those turns.
To any of the law enforcement branches and the monies collection branches and the roads and education branches that might use some extra dollars without increased taxes: I would like to propose that some traffic laws be enforced. Besides the revenue, some of these issues directly relate to traffic fatalities. I have seen itty bitty cars FORCE 18 wheelers to give the right of way. I have seen multiple aggressive drivers force others to give the right of way. If any of those that were forced to GIVE way just didn't, an accident would happen, maybe serious. I see drivers in such a hurry that they weave through lanes to get where they are going just to get to a stoplight. I see drivers that ignore the "turn into nearest lane" law. That one is almost universal. If one were to turn right on a red light and the other traffic was turning left on a turn left light and went directly to wrong lane, whose fault would it be if an "accident" occurred? I try to keep my car length per 10 MPH, but some just pass me and cut in front within 15 feet. By the same token, trying to keep that car length per 10 MPH gives every aggressive driver reason to cut in front of me from the left or right. If a left turn signal is given to change lanes, it signals those in that lane to speed up and prevent. At least that isn't illegal; just discourteous. I am talking about SR 37 S and N to Bloomington and back from Martinsville. This probably speaks about Indianapolis traffic, which with the amount of traffic is probably worse. At any rate, accidents could be reduced, revenue raised, if some traffic laws were enforced. Wouldn't stop light cameras also see drivers that turn to the furthest lane rather than the one closest? Couldn't any traffic cop on the highway see that drivers are following within one car length of each other for 10 cars/trucks or more? That is a major accident waiting to happen. Just one driver in front needs a reason to brake and a big pile-up. So what if it hasn't happened recently? It will. It has happened elsewhere, usually due to low visibilty conditions, but the same reason. Too close. Just because it hasn't happened recently, is this a reason to give drivers a free pass on tailgating, or turning into wrong lane or forcing others to give right of way on lane merges? After I saw that one driver FORCE an 18 wheeler off to the shoulder on a merge where the truck driver had the right of way, I keep my Aveo in the right lane where I am supposed to be and see if any try to force me out. So far, I have been able to keep my place or others on left have beat me to merge point. That is fine if they are ahead or close enough before they run out of lane. If they TRY to beat me after their lane has run out, I won't give anymore. I am tired of allowing others to force me to be courteous. They aren't asking for a bit of courtesy, they are EXPECTING someone to give the right of way. When they try to pass after their lane runs out....those are the aggressive ones that I have an issue with. The point is "Aggressive Driving." It might be useful in IndyCar and NASCAR. but not all of us are racecar drivers. Agressive Driving is NOT useful on highways. It will get people killed. For what? A few seconds to get past the vehicle in front or right or left? I see that it works a lot for those that are aggressive, but just that second or two could cost multiple lives. The point is that if some of these traffic laws in cities and on highways were enforced, drivers could be re-educated through their wallets or purses. It would be a win-win for safety and wherever traffic citation monies go.
Corner of Dunn and 3rd street, need to place an additional "no turn on red sign" next to signal light. Many people turn right onto 3rd street from Dunn in front of on-coming traffic.
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.
No street sign or pole for Queens Way and Sussex Dr. On the south side of Queens Way.
Traveling west on Kirkwood, turning left onto Adams, there is a speed limit sign of 25 MPH. Continuing west on 3rd street, there are no other speed limit signs until you get in front of the Cozy Table restaurant. That sign is 35 MPH. There are signs going the other direction, indicating 35 MPH, all the way. Is this the way this street is supposed to be signed? By the way, in case no one noticed, the typical speed of traffic on west 3rd is about 45 MPH.
