Green bulb on leftmost traffic signal (going north on walnut) is blinking
Sign down on the south side of Bloomfield rd
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
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.
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.
Tree obscuring stop sign
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
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.
