Lights out st 3rd and Rogers

Backed up West bound traffic on Bloomfield Road is made a bit worse with the lights here off sensor during construction. The timing is providing more time than needed for cross traffic and turn lane, should be set much longer for E-W Bloomfield. The light further east at Twin Lakes has very sensitive sensor for cross traffic, also adding to the backup, could let the cross traffic wait longer and reset if they escape with a right turn on red to keep the E-W flow going if it can.

This isn't about a traffic LIGHT, but street SIGN at 1st and Ballantine is askew. Has been this way for months and months.

I tried to call 812.349.3400 but got no answer. Thus, I used this form. I just wanted to report a possible glitch that may be happening in the traffic light at Covenanter and S. College Mall Rd. When I approached the light, traveling east on Covenanter, the light was flashing red. I assumed all lights were flashing red and treated it as a 4 way stop. A car on the other side approached the intersection as well. They also stopped. At the time no cars were coming down College Mall. They turned left (south) onto College Mall. I turned left (north) onto College Mall. Just after I turned vehicles were coming up behind me on College Mall, heading north without stopping at the intersection. I looked in my rearview mirror and the light for those on College Mall was green. This is a very dangerous situation as those of us on Covenanter had red flashing lights versus solid red lights. I turned up the road and returned to Covenanter to view the light cycle a few minutes later. The glitch appeared to go away and the traffic light seemed to be functioning properly again. However, it may be worth assessing to prevent possible collisions in the future.

I contacted IU but they said this light belongs to the city. The light to let pedestrians cross at 10th and Fee Lane (going from Kelley School to the Arboretum) is not working. I stood out there in the rain for 5 minutes today, pressing the button several times, but it did not turn to the pedestrian light when it was supposed to. Instead, cars kept going so I walked all the way up the sidewalk to the library where there is a "yield" pedestrian crosswalk; not that anyone does. This is a busy cross intersection for pedestrians, especially with orientation going on.

RRFB at allen&walnut doesn't work - northbound traffic does not yield. Went through twice on bike at about 9:30-10AM today (June 18), activated the beacon, and both times, SB traffic yielded and NB did not *at all*. I did not investigate the flawed design - that's planning&transportation's job.

The light that was removed from this intersection when Tapp was closed at 37 should be reinstalled due to the heavy amount of traffic especially during rush hours. People needing to turn left are just left sitting and blocking traffic because of being unable to turn.

The stoplight at Old 37 North and North Walnut/Business 37 is not working correctly this week. Cars heading south on Old 37 and coming to that stoplight are not triggering the light to change to green. It stays green for the North Walnut/Business 37 traffic...I have sat there in a row of cars for 10 minutes two days in a row. Today, an impatient driver in a big pickup zoomed out of the row of waiting cars up to the front of the line, presumably trying to trigger the light. Either the sensor isn't working or it is located beyond where the stop line is marked. This is going to cause an accident. Thank you!

The current congestion on W Bloomfield Rd., west of Highway 37, seems to be caused in part by the timing of traffic signal here (the intersection of W. Bloomfield Rd., S. Basswood Dr., and S. Oakdale Dr.), Almost all the traffic here is east-west on Bloomfield Rd. There is very little traffic on Basswood Dr. or Oakdale Dr. But the but the traffic signal stays green for a very long time for the south traffic on Basswood Dr. and the north traffic on Oakdale Dr. I think the congestion of Bloomfield Rd. would be alleviated somewhat if the traffic signal at this intersection were reset so that it stayed green longer for the ease-west Bloomfield Rd. traffic. Thank you for considering my suggestion.

Hi, I contacted the city last week about a stop sign on 2nd and Ballantine that is completely covered by a tree. It is a danger as it should be a 4 way stop, but people don't see it and will fly through it. Please get the tree trimmed so it doesn't cover up the stop sign. Thank you. Best, Ingrid
