This isn't about a traffic LIGHT, but street SIGN at 1st and Ballantine is askew. Has been this way for months and months.
I tried to call 812.349.3400 but got no answer. Thus, I used this form. I just wanted to report a possible glitch that may be happening in the traffic light at Covenanter and S. College Mall Rd. When I approached the light, traveling east on Covenanter, the light was flashing red. I assumed all lights were flashing red and treated it as a 4 way stop. A car on the other side approached the intersection as well. They also stopped. At the time no cars were coming down College Mall. They turned left (south) onto College Mall. I turned left (north) onto College Mall. Just after I turned vehicles were coming up behind me on College Mall, heading north without stopping at the intersection. I looked in my rearview mirror and the light for those on College Mall was green. This is a very dangerous situation as those of us on Covenanter had red flashing lights versus solid red lights. I turned up the road and returned to Covenanter to view the light cycle a few minutes later. The glitch appeared to go away and the traffic light seemed to be functioning properly again. However, it may be worth assessing to prevent possible collisions in the future.
I contacted IU but they said this light belongs to the city. The light to let pedestrians cross at 10th and Fee Lane (going from Kelley School to the Arboretum) is not working. I stood out there in the rain for 5 minutes today, pressing the button several times, but it did not turn to the pedestrian light when it was supposed to. Instead, cars kept going so I walked all the way up the sidewalk to the library where there is a "yield" pedestrian crosswalk; not that anyone does. This is a busy cross intersection for pedestrians, especially with orientation going on.
The traffic light at Woodward and Smith Pike east/west doesn’t seem to recognize traffic heading east if no one trips the light heading west light. It can cause quite a backup at 7:45 am.
The left-turn light on the northbound direction of Sare Rd, at E. Moores Pike has been malfunctioning for several weeks. It always provides a left-turn light, whether or not a car is in the left-turn lane.
