Stop sign next to 1902 Hawkesmoore (@ Nora Hill intersection) blocked by tree.
2 young men at 6:30 this morning were taking down the Stop Sign at 2nd and Mitchell. I asked them to stop since I said taking it down would be dangerous. They said okay and seemed under the influence of influence. After I walked my dog, I returned to the corner and the sign was gone. This is clearly a danger issue. It is a 4-way stop but highly transited.
The traffic light at this intersection high st and hillside is not timed properly. When traveling east west, the light is very short and only allowed 8 to 9 cars to get through so the traffic is backing up very badly
This is a light which depends on a sensor, not timed. The sensor on High street (I believe the north side) seems to be permanently activated. This has adversely affected traffic.
The signals do not switch the lights when traffic is stopped in an east -west direction but no traffic is going is traveling in the north-south direction. Either the sensors are not working or the electronics is at fault.
The Left Turn Lane Signal at 17th and Fee Lane are not functioning. Even with multiple cars pulling up to turn left, the left turn arrow is not triggered.
Tree obscuring stop sign
The new pedestrian crossing signals on South Walnut are programmed to take too long. The flashing yellow takes too long and half the motorists come to a stop while others continue thru the yellow to beat it. This becomes dangerous because pedestrians see certain cars slowing and stopping and begin to cross. I've seen folks almost get hit. Then the lights go solid red, oftentimes after the pedestrians have already crossed the road. Then the flashing red is too long, confusing many motorists who can't read or understand the sign. The entire sequence needs to be shortened for safety sake.
I was facing East on Indiana 45 and turning left (North) onto Kinser Pike. I didn't make the green left turn arrow and ended up in the middle of the intersection waiting to make an unprotected left. My light turned red but oncoming traffic still had a green, the oncoming turn lane got a green arrow. I was unable to clear the intersection, was unable to back up with cars behind me, and was blocking traffic from Kinser Pike when they got a green light. This is dangerous, I had assumed that oncoming traffic also had a red and would stop (as it had been for years), I was starting to clear the intersection by making the left when I realized oncoming cars weren't stopping. A turn lane where unprotected turns are allowed should not get a red while oncoming traffic still has a green.
The turn lights are very short. They only let maybe 3 cars through before it changes. This is especially an issue in the mornings when traffic is heavy. The worst light is when you pull out of Kroger and head towards 45 bypass
