Left turn signal from High Street turning on to Hillside no longer functions.
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.
Two traffic signs on Covenanter between Nota and Pickwick are obscured by a hedge.
The stop sign on W. 9th Street at Fairview is completely obscured.
The walk signal to cross from the SW corner to the NW corner of Atwater and Henderson is not turning on.
The timing of the traffic light at 3rd and Bryan/High Streets is way off. It has always been activated by sensors. The sensors on High and Bryan are now very delayed, sometimes waiting several minutes when no traffic has been passing on 3rd for that same time. Then the Bryan side will go green even though no car is present, The left turn arrow from 3rd to High will also not activate consistently. Please look at this situation, I have lived off of High and Hunter for 15 years and use this intersection this intersection several times per day. The settings are very off!
Stop sign obscured by vegetation for North bound traffic on old SR 37.
Timing of intersection lights on 3rd and Clarizz Blvd: Crossing 3rd St is risky unless you begin walking across exactly when the light turns green for the pedestrian. The light changes too fast, not leaving the pedestrian enough time.
