I often bike north on Jordan avenue to 3rd St., then turn left onto 3rd with the traffic light. Before the recent construction, the left turn signal appeared to be on a timer, and now it seems to be activated by a metal-sensitive loop in the pavement. But so far I have been unable to trigger the left turn signal with my bicycle. I have been instructed to ride exactly on the wire, and I ride a steel frame bike from 1970, so it should have plenty of metal to be detected. Is there some way to make sure this traffic light actuator is sensitive enough to work for bicyclists as well as for cars?
To whom it may concern: I'm writing today about the intersection of S. Hillsdale Dr and E 3rd St in Bloomington, Indiana. Specifically, I'm concerned with the functioning of the traffic signal at that intersection. In short, because the stop line is set pretty far back on Westbound lane of E 3rd St, Westbound drivers rushing through the yellow light have to go a very long way, much longer than those of us using the yellow to make a left turn northbound onto Hillsdale (when there is traffic, there is no choice except making left on the yellow). I'm not doing a great job explaining it here but given the long set-back, it seems odd that both of those lights turn yellow at the same time. I'd be happy to explain better via phone and/or someone could easily observe this dynamic at said intersection. Thanks
While driving home the last two nights (after midnight, I noticed the lights at the intersection of N. College and the 46 Bypass were on their regular daytime timing pattern and not set to change on demand. Has that been changed (hope not) or is it broken?
Light at College Mall and 3rd Street is flashing red.
The traffic signals at 3rd & Bypass / College Mall Rd could use some reprogramming. Westbound traffic turning south onto College Mall gets backed up at the signal just to the south, to the extent that vehicles are blocking the intersection waiting to turn left on red. Today it was bad enough that eastbound traffic was unable to proceed through an entire cycle. Not one single vehicle got through. Also, some vehicles clearly enter on yellow (or even on red) to turn left, even though the driver can easily see that he will be unable to proceed through the intersection before the signal goes red. A camera to catch such violations would be great.
S. Walnut left turn arrow onto East Grimes continues to turn green every cycle even when there are no cars present which delays all northbound traffic for 15 seconds every cycle. This has been reported several times. What's the fix?
Signal at corner of South Walnut Pike and Rhorer Road (when driving south) appears to be out. Drivers must wait for another driver traveling north on South Walnut Pike to come and turn on to Rhorer Road to trigger the signal. That signal is working.
FYI pedestrian signal to the south at college mall and second street does not appear to be working properly. Request for crossing east to west did not register.
One stop light is out going west into ellettsville at the intersection of 46 and Curry Pike
