The left turn signal for south bound traffic on high st always comes on, even when there are no cars in the turn lane. This delays the north bound high st traffic, especially in the morning when it may take 3 light cycles because this malfunction.
Traffic turn signal runs without cars in the turn lane. The turn signal is on Hight St pointing south.
The traffic lights here will only turn green for drivers doing N/S on Walnut. Cats on Hillside sit at a permanent red light.
So I've talked to you guys before about this issue how you guys have the timing for the traffic lights set up and of course you know you guys basically said all their set correctly but here's the issue all over town and multiple times a day I have to travel various places in town for my job. And you guys have the signaling set up to where you come to a stop at one red light and it goes green and the very second you arrived the next stoplight doing the speed limit it turns red it's really bad on West 3rd Street but specifically the portion of town that I have to drive through half dozen times a day from Miller Street to 2nd Street you literally have to stop every single traffic light because you guys have set the traffic signaling to make you stop at the red light. Having lived a lot of different places this is something that's very unique to Bloomington you know I'm sure you're going to tell me that's the way it's supposed to be which in turn means that you just wanted to turn people from driving but it's straight bullshit on a busy road like that that northbound traffic or southbound traffic you guys have it set that way West 3rd Street you literally have people having to stop in the intersection because you guys want to play games!! Yeah it's funny because when I called the mayor's office they acknowledged that the timings were messed up but said they would defer to you people
On the east side of the roundabout at Rogers Rd. and Sare Rd there are several white reflector poles (about 3 ft tall) lying on the side of the road. It looks like they were knocked down, and they've been lying there for several weeks.
The traffic signal at Woodlawn and 3rd requires pedestrians to push the beg button to get the walk light to cross 3rd. Maybe that's reasonable on the west side of the intersection, but the walk light should come on automatically on the east side of the intersection, because there is no conflict with turning traffic. It is a particular issue because pedestrians coming from the north can't see what phase the lights for car traffic are in. This lack of information for pedestrians often causes some unsafe behavior that could be avoided if they could just rely on the walk signal that faces them to accurately convey whether they are in an east-west phase of the light cycle or a north-south phase.
pedestrian walk signal facing N College, pole located on NE corner of 6th and college. Don't walk works fine. Walk visible signal not seeming to work.
The left turn arrow for the left turn does change to green. I sat through this light on Thursday and today for two light cycles and it never turned green.
Turn signal is triggered when no cars are present on Kirkwood. Occurring for over a year. Causes traffic that is headed east on Kirkwood and then north on Walnut to miss the chance for a green light at 6th and Walnut. Waste my time, gas, and kills our environment every single workday.
