Pedestrians should not have to push a button to get a walk signal on the east side of the intersection. Coming from campus we can’t see whether the light is green for Woodlawn traffic and people often assume someone else has already pushed the button, then people dart across hoping they have time, not wanting to wait through a whole other light cycle. There is no downside to an automatic walk signal on the east side of the intersection.
Turn signal bulb for west bound traffic on 3rd is out
The southbound turn arrow on westbound 3rd street is not functioning.
Driver reported that the left turn lane arrow was not working properly, stuck on red.
Turning south on College Mall from westbound 3rd is getting backed up because the signal at College Mall and the entrance to the mall doesn't turn green for southbound traffic in time. The result is that traffic travelling East on 3rd cannot proceed trough the intersection.
The walk signals do not come up anymore. It is a constant red hand and there are no buttons to select a walk signal. Many pedestrians use this intersection and not having a clear signal to alert drivers is creating a dangerous condition.
The light on Walnut heading north at 1st Street has been functioning differently for a while now than it used to. It used to be that when the crosswalk signal for northbound pedestrians hit zero the light turned yellow. Now, the light stays green for a long time after that. The light on 1st Street is red way too long. The traffic on Walnut has a green light and starts to back up at 2nd because the Walnut light at 2nd is red from the prior cycle still. Can someone look at this and see if that Walnut light at 1st can be fixed so it is not holding on green for so long?
Traffic light timing should be changed. Traffic backs up both north and sounth bound at this intersection, which then secondarily backs up more traffic at 3rd and the bypass. This particular intersection should much more heavily favor north/south bound traffic. Thank you for consideration.
The last couple weeks, the light seems to change unnecessarily when there are no cars waiting at the Buick Caddilac Blvd stop thus causing traffic on College Mall to stop when there are also no pedestrians. Even when there are cars and the light xhanges, it stays green on the Buick Caddillac side for longer than is necessary. These issues did not exist until recently.
