Bloomington's traffic signal timing is, in general, inadequate. Traffic patterns in the city are highly variable, changing drastically as students arrive and leave with the university schedule and as new student housing is constructed. It would be wonderful if the city were to invest in a system which changes traffic signals in real time as a function of data collected from sensors at intersections. Surely there will be graduate students, postdocs, and faculty in the Luddy School eager to help out with a cool "smart city" project...

The Audio Pedestrian Signals at this intersection aren't working. I got this complain from someone who is blind who said "When crossing from the west moving east across walnut, it’s a bit dangerous because as a blind person, I am listening for my parallel traffic to move when that traffic signal activates the traffic to move, and especially on that left hand turn onto Walnut, the pedestrian signal is not activated as the parallel traffic is… The pedestrian signal seems to be delayed… That’s dangerous, especially if the audible signal is not working or loud enough to be heard… When I hear that parallel traffic move I take that as my signal to cross the street…" We checked them out and we don't hear audio, except a weak "wait" at the southwest corner.

On 8/27/2024 around 10:30am, the traffic light facing/releasing Bryan Ave onto 3rd St went through about 5 cycles without turning green. The person in the front of the line was forced to turn right on red to be able to leave. After they did that, the signal turned green in the next cycle.

The turn signal on 17th to turn on to college lasts 10 seconds and is impossible for one let alone 2 cars to get through. Increases traffic along 17th street

The light at the intersection of Union and 10th has a turn arrow. Last summer the turn arrow stopped working. I assumed it was due to reduced traffic from fewer students. But it's approaching a year and the arrow still does not work.
P.S. There are potholes in the left turn lane on Union, turning East onto 10th. They make that turn really rough.

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!
