COB Twitter submission from @ToriLawhord: A light meant for those traveling southbound at the corner of Walnut St and E Miller Dr has completely turned around is now facing the northbound traffic. The wind must have turned it, but it could cause a severe accident. #Bloomington #MonroeCounty
Lights out st 3rd and Rogers
This isn't about a traffic LIGHT, but street SIGN at 1st and Ballantine is askew. Has been this way for months and months.
I tried to call 812.349.3400 but got no answer. Thus, I used this form. I just wanted to report a possible glitch that may be happening in the traffic light at Covenanter and S. College Mall Rd. When I approached the light, traveling east on Covenanter, the light was flashing red. I assumed all lights were flashing red and treated it as a 4 way stop. A car on the other side approached the intersection as well. They also stopped. At the time no cars were coming down College Mall. They turned left (south) onto College Mall. I turned left (north) onto College Mall. Just after I turned vehicles were coming up behind me on College Mall, heading north without stopping at the intersection. I looked in my rearview mirror and the light for those on College Mall was green. This is a very dangerous situation as those of us on Covenanter had red flashing lights versus solid red lights. I turned up the road and returned to Covenanter to view the light cycle a few minutes later. The glitch appeared to go away and the traffic light seemed to be functioning properly again. However, it may be worth assessing to prevent possible collisions in the future.
I contacted IU but they said this light belongs to the city. The light to let pedestrians cross at 10th and Fee Lane (going from Kelley School to the Arboretum) is not working. I stood out there in the rain for 5 minutes today, pressing the button several times, but it did not turn to the pedestrian light when it was supposed to. Instead, cars kept going so I walked all the way up the sidewalk to the library where there is a "yield" pedestrian crosswalk; not that anyone does. This is a busy cross intersection for pedestrians, especially with orientation going on.
The traffic light at Woodward and Smith Pike east/west doesn’t seem to recognize traffic heading east if no one trips the light heading west light. It can cause quite a backup at 7:45 am.
Signal at college mall rd and Moores pike is blinking red.
The automatic traffic signals at Kirkwood Ave. and Adams Street need to be adjusted. The most aggravating problem is the insufferably long green signal for Adams Street traffic heading south. 3 or 4 minutes seems unreasonably long for traffic going south on Adams, especially at night.
At 17th & Kinser Pike, from 17th turning left onto Kinser the turn light comes on whether there is a car there or not. I have noticed this all day today from this morning to this evening.
Traffic signal at Curry Pike and Otis Elevator not working properly; signal remains red although traffic in all other directions stops and this pattern repeats cycle after cycle.
