The traffic signals are not in proper progression, wasting energy.
The traffic signals are not in proper progression, wasting energy.
The green light was burnt out for northbound traffic on Walnut Street at Miller Drive. It's the light for Walnut traffic heading south to north. The green light on the right side (furthest east) of the set of lights was out just after 8pm this evening when I passed through.
Light for Rogers going north only turns green if the left arrow is tripped.
This light turns red for the major thoroughfare (Patterson) almost every time I travel that road, despite the fact that there are NO cars coming from the other direction (Adams). I can't understand a light dedicated solely to a school and college apartments to the detriment of the main through traffic, especially when no one is sitting at the light. It needs to have road sensors, not be set to a timer.
Why is there a restriction on left-hand turns off Patterson onto South Adams at this location (Patterson and South Adams)?
The northbound traffic signal at Rogers and Patterson/Grimes Ln seems awfully short all of a sudden. During morning rush hour, around 5 cars can get through going north. The east-west signal seems to be around 3 times as long. Has something been changed recently? Thanks for any information you can provide.
Stop sign next to 1902 Hawkesmoore (@ Nora Hill intersection) blocked by tree.
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?
Tree obscuring stop sign
The southbound stop sign on the intersection of high and maxwell is not clearly visible due to a tree/bush obfuscating it.
