Intersection of Winslow and Henderson. The left turn light for traffic traveling west bound on Winslow to turn south bound on Henderson activates when there is not a car waiting to turn left. I have seen this twice this week at approximately 6:45 - 6:50 am.
This is a light which depends on a sensor, not timed. The sensor on High street (I believe the north side) seems to be permanently activated. This has adversely affected traffic.
Since High Street was paved and re-lined, the left signal at the Hillside/Moore's Pike intersection for the southbound lane is not tripped when a car is there.
Since the repaving on High St. the light favors traffic on High instead of the more travelled road of Hillside causing traffic to move less smoothly along Hillside.
Traffic signal at W 2nd St and Rogers St: Lt arrow (from eastbound 2nd to northbound Rogers) is only letting 2 cars thru - normally is set on demand and lets many more thru. Causing backup on eastbound 2nd St.
Left turn signal from High Street turning on to Hillside no longer functions.
The traffic light here lacks left turn signals, which leads to people getting stuck in line behind people turning left, this problem exists for people going both directions. Because of the volume of traffic, it can take a cycle of 3 or more lights before turning left is possible. What happens then, is that people are passing the cars on the right, on the median or in the intersection, to get through the light. I have seen several near accidents here. Every morning and afternoon, you can see people doing this. It is an hourly occurrence and often involves several vehicles. It is an accident in the making.
At 3 am one night, someone at high speed jumped the curve and took out the no parking sign in front of our house, leaving gashes in the lawn. The sign is on the ground next to the street and should be put back up or taken away.
An obscured YIELD sign where E First and Sheridan come together. See picture.
