Traffic light at College Mall Rd and Covenanter Drive is not cycling properly. The left turn loops or cameras are not working properly for traffic turning left from College Mall Rd onto Covenanter. The light is only allowing three to four cars to turn left for just six seconds. This causes southbound traffic on College Mall Rd to back up all the way to Burger King.
On Saturday I was eastbound on Covenanter and pulled up to the traffic light at College Mall Rd. I was in the right lane and the signal went through a full rotation and never gave me a green light to cross College Mall Rd. I ended up turning right/south on red.
The current congestion on W Bloomfield Rd., west of Highway 37, seems to be caused in part by the timing of traffic signal here (the intersection of W. Bloomfield Rd., S. Basswood Dr., and S. Oakdale Dr.), Almost all the traffic here is east-west on Bloomfield Rd. There is very little traffic on Basswood Dr. or Oakdale Dr. But the but the traffic signal stays green for a very long time for the south traffic on Basswood Dr. and the north traffic on Oakdale Dr. I think the congestion of Bloomfield Rd. would be alleviated somewhat if the traffic signal at this intersection were reset so that it stayed green longer for the ease-west Bloomfield Rd. traffic. Thank you for considering my suggestion.
We were traveling east on 10th St. this evening, approaching the bypass on the east side. While waiting for the red light to change to green, the train gate on the bypass lowered and a train approached also from the east. When a train is crossing the bypass, the light rightly does not allow traffic through from the north, as it would soon have nowhere to go. This is good. BUT it also did not allow our lane to travel through the intersection going east! I know there is no separate right-turn signal there to stop people from turning south onto the bypass, but it is not logical to stop all traffic going east as well. And besides, the light DOES allow westbound traffic on 10th Street to BOTH continue west AND turn south onto the bypass -- even though there is a separate signal there for the south-turn lane -- and those cars then are stopped by the crossing gate. This is really illogical, and should be remedied.
At SR46 and 10th St. While a train is crossing SR46 I saw two disfunctional aspects of the signaling. 1) The pedestrian crossing requests are totally ignored while the train is crossing SR46. Pedestrian signals stayed red until the train had finished crossing SR46. 2) Eastbound 10th never was given a green signal while the train was crossing SR46. There is no reason that this direction should be kept from crossing and several cars ended up crossing against a red light during the green signal for westbound 10th.
Left turn arrow from northbound College Mall Road onto westbound 2nd St. was not working at 5:35 PM on Monday August 13. Sat through four cycles of the light, and left turn arrow never came on. Due to heavy southbound traffic, only one car could turn left on cycle, during the yellow. Traffic was backed up in the northbound left lane of College Mall Road all the way back to Covenanter.
After my report to the City about the malfunctioning walk like at Third and Franklin I was notified that this traffic light is maintained by I69. How is that possible? Can someone please provide information regarding getting the walk light fixed or could the City possibly forward the issue to I69? This is such a hazard.
The light is green for too long for south/north facing traffic. I have observed multiple instances there are no cars, but traffic will be backing up in east/West lanes. Westbound has it particularly bad as the traffic will start backing up past the Cory Lane intersection as a result of this light-once I make it past this intersection traffic flows so much faster.
Just a question regarding the signal at 10th and the Bypass, specifically when a train is passing, just south of the intersection: why is eastbound traffic not given a green light? It makes sense that southbound traffic at that intersection shouldn't get a green light until the train has passed, but I'm uncertain why traffic on 10th, heading straight east, is held up when there's a train. Thanks!
Can someone please look at the left turn signal going north on union street to turn left onto 10th street? The signal is so short that it turns yellow before the first car is even through the intersection.
