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.
This light is on a timer, rather than sensors, so people just sit waiting even when there's no traffic coming from other directions. It's especially annoying when the left turn arrows engage when no one is there. I've reported this light for about 2 years now. Very inconvenient and frustrating to sit and sit when no traffic is coming from other directions.
Pretty sure this light used to be on a sensor and now it seems to be on a timer. The past else real Sundays I've driven through some time between 10:15am and 1:30pm the east-west has turned red with zero cars in the north or south sides of the intersection. And no vehicles have triggered it but then turned right onto Tapp. With much less traffic on Sundays it'd be great to have it (back?) on a sensor.
The light at Tapp Rd and Deborah Dr has been triggering to green for Deborah Drive with no traffic present. It's stops Tapp Rd for 40 seconds for no reason. Can this be fixed when it's only green when there is traffic on Deborah vs randomly for no reason?
