Traffic light has been malfunctioning for going on two years. When will it be repaired?
Northbound Walnut left turn arrow is now turning green repeatedly with no cars in the lane turning. The southbound turn signal has been malfunctioning for over two years. This was supposed to be repaired this year. Time is running out.
The left turn arrow on S. Walnut southbound at Hillside cycles green every time regardless of whether or not there's a car turning left. And the junction box in the street for the loop wires is open with all the wiring exposed.
Left turn arrow on northbound Walnut at Hillside is cycling green for 30 seconds everytime, with no cars on the loop.
I've reported this traffic signal problem before, it intermittently gives northbound Walnut a left turn arrow onto Hillside when there are no cars in the lane. Today, there were no cars at all going northbound and it still cycled a long 30second green left turn arrow with 10-12 cars waiting at the light going southbound.
It's getting worse. It's now cycling green for all three lanes of southbound traffic on Walnut when there are no cars at all. And this morning it cycled a green left turn arrow for northbound Walnut turning left onto W. Hillside with no cars there. Hadn't seen it do that for a while.
Signal has been malfunctioning for months. When is it slated for repair?
This traffic signal has been malfunctioning for over a year and repair is slated for this year, hopefully, but in the interim, could you adjust the timer on the malfunctioning left turn arrow for S. Walnut to Hillside to only stay green for 15 or fewer seconds rather than the full 30 seconds that everyone has to wait going northbound now. Add'l note that if a car is actually turning left onto Hillside, the light cycles much faster.
Caller reported that the traffic light at South Walnut and Hillside Drive seems to be off its normal timing. Southbound drivers wanting to turn left onto Hillside are waiting a full minute for the turn arrow.
The left turn arrow for southbound Walnut Street at Hillside Drive is activating even with no traffic in the lane. Stays on for a full left turn cycle.
