Bloomington's traffic signal timing is, in general, inadequate. Traffic patterns in the city are highly variable, changing drastically as students arrive and leave with the university schedule and as new student housing is constructed. It would be wonderful if the city were to invest in a system which changes traffic signals in real time as a function of data collected from sensors at intersections. Surely there will be graduate students, postdocs, and faculty in the Luddy School eager to help out with a cool "smart city" project...

College Mall Rd @ Eastland Plaza
- Case Date:
- 10/8/2024
The green left turn light coming out of the mall on the street between Fazoli's and BJ Brewhouse onto South College Mall Rd is inoperative. This causes the left turn lane to only get the yellow caution signal for a few seconds before the light goes red ( the main light issred if no one trips the signal to cycle from the straight ahead or right turn lane.) so then the left turners are sitting at the light until the right hand lane trips the (Main) signal to cycle to green.

The eastbound left turn lane's green arrow is running every cycle, even though there's pretty much never any cars in that lane - it goes to a driveway. This causes westbound traffic on Adams/3rd to wait needlessly for their green signal. I am assuming that this left turn arrow operates from a trigger wire in the pavement.

3rd St & Kimble Dr
- Case Date:

The stop light to turn out onto W 3rd from Kimble constantly remains red so no one can turn left onto W 3RD from Kimble. You have to find the "right spot" to get the light to change. I live in the neighborhood and am constantly getting stuck at this light waiting for it to turn green. I often have to reverse my car and pull up again and again to try and find the right location to get the light to change and it never seems to be the same spot.

3rd and Madison, northwest corner, the Wait/Don't Wait signal is covered. I believe this was reported many months ago, but can't find it in the system. Not sure why it would take this long to get repaired. But if it's a part, shouldn't that be followed up on? Thanks.

The Audio Pedestrian Signals at this intersection aren't working. I got this complain from someone who is blind who said "When crossing from the west moving east across walnut, it’s a bit dangerous because as a blind person, I am listening for my parallel traffic to move when that traffic signal activates the traffic to move, and especially on that left hand turn onto Walnut, the pedestrian signal is not activated as the parallel traffic is… The pedestrian signal seems to be delayed… That’s dangerous, especially if the audible signal is not working or loud enough to be heard… When I hear that parallel traffic move I take that as my signal to cross the street…" We checked them out and we don't hear audio, except a weak "wait" at the southwest corner.
