The crosswalk at 10th St. & Fee Ln is not working properly, and this is not related to building construction. Several weeks ago, the signal stopped allowing protected pedestrian right-of-way to pedestrians crossing 10th Street. The crosswalk button ceased functioning at the same time. This has been reported previously and it has not been resolved. Meanwhile, hundreds of people are daily risking their lives to cross the street, while being conditioned to ignore crosswalk signals.
The pedestrian crosswalk buttons are not working properly at the intersection of 10th & Jordan this morning. In particular, the westbound crossing button on the southeast corner did not activate the pedestrian crossing light through several cycles at approx. 9:10am. I didn't confirm, but it looked like other buttons/directions were having similar problems. Was working fine yesterday.
None of the pedestrian crossing buttons have been working at the intersection of 10th and Jordan today. There is no way to activate the pedestrian signals.
the traffic light at the 45/46 bypass and walnut street is malfunctioning. It only stays green for about 13 seconds for the east and west traffic on 46 and is causing large backups in the morning and afternoon. This seems to happen after the football games. Please take care of this issue and let traffic flow. It is to the point where the light at kinser pike turns green but there is no where to go because this light is backed up so badly.
10th and Jordan intersection: Westbound pedestrian crossing button on SE corner and northbound crossing button on SW corner are not working - red light above button remains on and walk signal is not activated. Problem has been happening for at least a week or so.
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.
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.
It seems that the timing of the traffic lights on College through downtown needs to be re-set or something. I drive that route 4 mornings a week at about 5:45 am and typically I will stop at a light at either 10th or 11th and from then on it's smooth sailing. Starting last week, the timing was off, and since then I've had to stop at as many as 5 intersections between 11th and 1st Streets. Just wanted to let you know! :) Thanks!
YIELD sign on Adams as you are going north on Adams and preparing to turn east on Kirkwood is facing AWAY from the street. It is facing the cemetery and there is no cemetery exit at that location. This sign should be turned so it faces the oncoming traffic-- vehicles going north on Adams and turning right on Kirkwood.
