I was waiting for green light signal at approximately 2:35 pm today (6/6/2017) from eastbound 10th St, but the green light changed to yellow light in less than a second.
Green arrow for right turn going from westbound 3rd st. to north bound bypass when left turn for southbound bypass to eastbound 3rd st. is out.
Traffic continually builds up here. The addition of the I-69 interchange will only make things worse. Very little traffic comes from northbound or southbound Rockport Rd. especially at peak travel times. A flashing red/yellow light combination would be a great improvement to a four way stop, even if only temporarily.
It appears that a problem with the traffic signal system at the S. College Mall Rd. and E Covenanter Dr has caused the signal system to be reprogrammed for repeated phases with no pedestrian lights. Since the input sensors are not working, the pedestrian buttons do not work. The phase allowing auto crossing of College Mall Rd is much to short for pedestrians to get across. Until the complete repairs are made, the signal needs to be reprogrammed with a pedestrian phase. The intersection is very dangerous for pedestrians even with working pedestrian signals. With the current programming, the intersection is effectively unusable for pedestrians and very dangerous for those pedestrians who must cross (such as to catch the bus). This matter is an emergency and needs to be fixed immediately.
Traffic signals at College Mall Road and Covenanter Drive are not working correctly. Left turn arrows are being presented even with no cars waiting to turn. Signal duration also seems to be working incorrectly and unrelated to actual traffic flow/demand. (This problem seems to have started the recent power outage and signal work at this intersection.)
Traffic light at College Mall Rd and Covenanter Drive is not cycling properly. The left turn loops or cameras are not working properly for traffic turning left from College Mall Rd onto Covenanter. The light is only allowing three to four cars to turn left for just six seconds. This causes southbound traffic on College Mall Rd to back up all the way to Burger King.
On Saturday I was eastbound on Covenanter and pulled up to the traffic light at College Mall Rd. I was in the right lane and the signal went through a full rotation and never gave me a green light to cross College Mall Rd. I ended up turning right/south on red.
When headed west on Covenanter over college mall, the left turn green arrow is very faint and almost impossible to see in the daytime
