Timing is completely off during late night hours (after 11pm). Light is functioning the same as if during heavy day traffic - with a wait time of 3-5 minutes while light cycles for all lanes, even when no one there. People are (understandably) running the light instead of waiting.
The signals are no longer synced properly. You can see the next signal turn red as yours turns green. Backwards.
I seem to remember that when the traffic light was installed on Walnut Street at Smith Avenue it should have only turned red for Walnut when activated by pedestrian or vehicular traffic on Smith Avenue. I don't know if that designation changed or if there is an equipment malfunction, but for the past few weeks the light has been cycling on it's own with no traffic of any kind present on Smith Avenue.
Traffic lights are out.
Double left turn arrow for northbound 46 for turn onto 37 on ramp stays green for a minute when there are no cars turning left.
The light at Adams St., where it becomes W. 3rd St., turns green even if there are no cars there. And it stays green for an inordinate amount of time.
Pedestrian lights and controls do not work correctly for any corner of the College Mall - Covenanter insection. For example, there are no pedestrian lights at all for the SW corner, none EW on the SE corner. There in no EW on the NW corner. The effect is that pedestrians cannot cross College Mall from W to E. Please fix immediately before someone is hurt badly.
The pedestrian crossing signal switch on the SE corner of College Mall and Covenanter (N-S direction) cannot be pushed. It looks like the switch is stuck on.
The northbound traffic signal at Rogers and Patterson/Grimes Ln seems awfully short all of a sudden. During morning rush hour, around 5 cars can get through going north. The east-west signal seems to be around 3 times as long. Has something been changed recently? Thanks for any information you can provide.
