The signal light at Third and Woodcrest always thinks there is a car turning left, even when both East and west traffic in the turn lane is empty
The signal light at Third and Woodcrest always thinks there is a car turning left, even when both East and west traffic in the turn lane is empty
The pedestrian crossing buttons at all four corners of East Third Street and Hillsdale/Woodscrest aren't working. Pedestrians never get a walk signal. In addition, the traffic light stays green for Third Street car traffic until a vehicle pulls up on Hillsdale or Woodscrest to wait at the light (meaning pedestrians often must try to cross when there are drivers turning left across the crosswalk).
Turn signal and always come on even when no cars are present
The traffic light at the intersection of 3rd St. and Hillsdale is currently on a timed cycle that doesn't seem to change at any point during the day. It would be better if there were sensors or something, because I find myself stopping and waiting the entire light cycle sometimes, with no sign of anyone coming from the other street, and that's a waste of time and fuel. So if that ought could give more default preference to the traffic on 3rd St., that would be awesome.
All of the traffic signals on the intersection of W 3rd Street and South Madison Street AS WELL AS W 3rd Street and South Rogers Street are NOT ON. It is as if they do not have any power.
At the corner of Rogers St and Graham Dr a push button for yellow blinking lights does not work. It is on the south-west corner of the intersection.
The traffic signal at Bryan St at the intersection with 3rd and High Streets is not working properly. It does not cycle to green in sequence with the other streets unless the front car pulls forward into the crosswalk. This creates an unsafe situation for both pedestrians and drivers. Please fix the light so that it cycles properly with the signals for the other streets. Thank you.
Traffic signals are not working
On several occasions I've pulled up to the left turn lane stop line going south on Henderson at Winslow and have not gotten a green light. I arrived at the intersection just as Henderson northbound is getting a green light and green turn arrow, and there are no cars yet at the red lights on Winslow. Once the northbound left turn traffic is done, the southbound light never goes green. So I sit and wait for an entire cycle before getting a green arrow three minutes later.
I've reported intermittent malfunctions at this light before. This time I was heading north bound on Henderson and stopped in the center lane at the red light for Winslow. The light was green both directions on Winslow at the time. The light then went red on Winslow and turned green with a green arrow for the south bound cars stopped on Henderson. After these cars went through, the traffic light went green again for Winslow and I never received a green light. The second time around, a car came alongside me in the left lane and I then got a green light after sitting for two plus minutes a second time around. The light is also set to green too long for Winslow.
