Light at College Mall and 3rd Street is flashing red.
Stop sign blocked by tree limbs next to 417 S. Henderson (@ E. Hunter intersection).
North Union and East 10th St traffic signal does not work properly causing major traffic backups to east bound vehicles traveling on 10th street. I was curious as to when this will be fixed. In fact I have several questions regarding the traffic signals along 10th st including Jordan Ave, N Woodlawn Ave, and Indiana Ave.
The traffic on West Third Street is consistently HORRID. The timing of the traffic lights desperately needs to be changed. Especially around peak times, like morning rush, noon-ish, and 5:00pm, traffic is so backed up and the traffic lights are so poorly timed that barely two or three cars are making it through a single light. What should be a 15 minute drive to-and-from work for me (even with some normal peak traffic factored in) but it usually takes about 45 minutes. PLEASE have someone from your department attempt to drive from downtown to the West side of town via W. 3rd street so you can see first-hand how awful it is and how poorly timed the lights are. It doesn't make sense for one light to turn green if the light ahead of it is still red and the cars are completely backed up. Nobody can go anywhere! My car has overheated a few times from remaining stagnant for so long. Please have someone do something about this and PLEASE have someone from your office try it out for themselves during a peak traffic time. It is unbelievable and ridiculous and needs to be adjusted.
The left hand turn signal at the intersection of Sare Rd and Moore's Pike (i.e. northbound traffic turning west on to Moore's Pike) is not working properly. The sensor appears to be stuck "on" - and southbound traffic is backing up and not being handled correctly.
The digital sign that shows how fast you are going near Rogers/Binford schools has not been working for a couple of days. It is the one just past the intersection of High and Second, if you are going towards Woodcrest.
Signs down in traffic circle at sixth and Waldron
SOUTH WALNUT ST PIKE AND WINSLOW RD INSTERSECTION: WIRES HANGING IN FRONT OF SIGNAL. CAN'T SEE WHEN TURN ARROW COMES ON
The intersection of Patterson and 2nd street is horribly timed. The turning lane can maybe get 3-4 cars through it. The lanes that cross can maybe get 5-8. This especially bad in the mornings. There are several times that I have almost been hit by the turning lane as they are trying to rush the red light (due to the small # of cars that can get through). Also, there are several times that people in the turning lane on 2nd are running the light which puts the Patterson Drive people at a risk to get hit or not have enough time to get through the light.
