The crosswalk buttons at the intersection of Patterson and Prospect Street do not appear to be functioning correctly. We have had several reports from our residents that they do not work. Additionally, we have a resident who uses a wheelchair, which makes it considerably dangerous for him to cross, considering that they don't work. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
The light at this intersection turns red when there are no cars sitting at the light on Deborah. Tapp is the main road the the light should remain green unless a car trips the signal from Deborah. Please consider changing this light from a timed light to a car tripped light. Let the traffic flow continue on Tapp.
The light at 10th and Indiana has been functioning differently this summer. Heading east toward campus on 10th St., the stoplight now first offers the left turn arrow with a red ball. Since there is no left turn lane, those of us wanting to turn left cannot make use of the green arrow until cars ahead of us get the green ball and proceed through the intersection. If even two cars at the lead are going straight, the left green arrow disappears before left turners have a chance. With classes resuming and 10th St. traffic returning to its usual intense busy-ness, I'm hoping the light can be fixed to offer a green left arrow AND ball immediately to assist with flow of traffic. Otherwise, left turners will struggle - likely 0-1 will go through per light cycle - and those behind the left turner will be delayed going straight. It would be wonderful if 10th were ever widened there to accommodate a left turn lane, but historically the proper green left arrow/ball simultaneously has worked sufficiently for traffic efficiency. Thanks!
When heading south on College lately, the lights at 3rd, 2nd and 1st seemed to be perfectly time to turn red when heading south at the speed limit between each. I don’t know if this is incidental but could be much better. Also the light at Walnut and South Dr is turning green for South Drive for lengthy periods even when there is no one waiting and even during early AM hours.
I don't know if this is the right site to complain, but the traffic light at Tapp Road and Deborah Dr. has recently started turning red a lot more than it used to. The problem with this in my opinion is that there are sometimes 10-12 cars stopped on Tapp Road while there are from 0-2 coming out of Deborah Dr. It also stays red longer than it used to. Just doesn't make a lot of sense.
To Whom It May Concern, I would like to report a concern regarding the traffic signal at the intersection of South Walnut Street and East South Drive. A couple of months ago, the traffic signal timing was changed. Since then, the light appears to stop northbound and southbound traffic on South Walnut Street much more frequently than it allows traffic to exit South High School via East South Drive. As a result, traffic on South Walnut Street backs up significantly, particularly during the morning rush hour. Prior to the timing change, traffic seemed to flow much more efficiently. If possible, I would appreciate it if the signal timing could be reviewed and adjusted to more closely match its previous operation. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, David Taylor
Deborah and Tapp intersection lights are not working properly. They change color way too fast and I think the motion sensor is inaccurate to when cars get to the intersection. PLEASE take a look at it and fix the timing
Why isn't the traffic signal at W. Kirkwood and Rogers St set to flashing red while Kirkwood is closed. A 3-way stop would be much better than a light going through it full cycle causing back-ups on Rogers.
When College was reopened, the traffic signal was not calibrated properly for east-west traffic and has caused MANY near collisions. Here's the issue: After southbound traffic gets a red, the westbound signal turns green 1.5 seconds before the eastbound signal. This is because the eastbound signal is timed with a Leading Pedestrian signal, but the westbound signal isn't. The westbound signal turns green as soon as the east-west crosswalk light turns white. This isn't a huge issue, since the south crosswalk doesn't get used right now due to construction. However, this 1.5 second lead has caused many near collisions between south-turning drivers and eastbound drivers. South-turning drivers get a green, and the eastbound drivers don't start moving (because their light is still red). So south-turning drivers begin their turn, believing the eastbound drivers are letting them go. Then eastbound drivers get their green and enter the intersection while southbound drivers are turning into it. I thought south-turning drivers were just running a red until the third near-collision. Then I walked to the intersection and timed the lights to figure out what was happening. POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS SOLUTIONS: 1) Program the westbound traffic light with the leading pedestrian interval 2) Remove the leading pedestrian interval for the eastbound light 3) Reinstate the protected left turn for westbound traffic (so they get the green arrow before eastbound traffic gets a green signal)
It appears the light is now changing to green for southbound vehicles at Bryan/High even if there's no one sitting there. It used to only turn green if someone was waiting or had tripped the sensors. This is causing backup traffic along 3rd Street and delaying northbound High Street traffic from turning.
