The speed limit sign that was here had been missing for some time. For about a month, it was laying in the grass about half block north. Now it's gone.

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
High traffic corner; extremely difficult to turn onto hillside for normal traffic and school traffic especially with all the trucks pulling into Carlisle
Requesting a pedestrian crosswalk here. The sidewalk ends on opposite sides of the street but there is not a pedestrian crosswalk to cross the road. There is a school, park and YMCA nearby that people are walking to and they have to cross quickly without the pedestrian marking.
As 10th street crosses SR46 to the east, it goes from 2 lanes to 1. There is one sign indicating that the right lane ends. However the left lane curves as though it ends. Since I was nearly in an accident the other day because of this confusion, I would like to know which lane ends. I would also like additional signage added to reduce that danger. If it is the right lane that ends, perhaps that could be marked as a right-turn only lane.
Drivers going east on third make a U turn to get going back west on Third Street. They seem unaware of drivers on Peter Ellis also turning west onto Third. One driver went across both lanes making the U turn. Needs a NO U TURN SIGN.
At this and other intersections along the bypass, there is not sufficient signage for cyclists and pedestrians using the sidepath. The "walk" sign only turns on when you press the button, instead of automatically turning on with the green light. And because of the insufficient signage, drivers seem unaware that there is a side path, and frequently block bike/pedestrian traffic and make dangerous turns into people entering the crosswalks.
Drivers who turn from Walnut up East Hillside and speeding is a problem. Hillside is a hill, and many drivers think this is a speedway. I am requesting a stoplight, yield sign, or better yet, a series of speed bumps, much like were installed on Washington Street. Pickup trucks seems to be the main issue, though muscle cars like to think of this as their raceway. The sidewalk is already directly next to the street, and we have to deal with large trucks withing 12-15 inches of our walking path. This can't be avoided. Speeding can be negated some. Thank you for you attention to this issue
there is a sign on woodlawn around the intersection of grimes that desperately needs replaced. It is a park crossing sign that I have driven by hundreds of times and never noticed as the print and sign are barely legible. People tend to speed down woodlawn in that area, given its close proximity to an elementary school (templeton) where students walk to school, along with the nearby crossing of weatherstone lane, this should be replaced quickly as the area will be picking up a lot more traffic with the pool opening, etc.
This four-way stop intersection has a very wide approach. Despite there being no visible lane markings, save for a faded arrow on the southbound approach on S Auto Mall Rd to this intersection, drivers frequently make their own rules and act like there are two lanes or just one. I don't even know what the proper lane configuration here is, but there should be clear markings and repaving done to this stretch from College Mall to S Auto Mall on Covenanter Drive. Speeds are low, but this intersection clearly needs an overhaul. It's been like this for years now, so I'm flagging this for relevant city departments.
