It would be really nice to have a traffic light put at the intersection of Dillman Road & Old SR37. This intersection is horrible & I have about had many wrecks there just trying to pull out
Since construction started on Winslow Rd. between Walnut St. Pike and S. Walnut St., westbound traffic on Winslow has been a mess due to the single westbound lane approaching the intersection with S. Walnut St. If there is a mix of cars going straight and cars turning left in the single westbound lane, only 2-3 cars make it through on each cycle of the traffic light. During this construction, westbound Winslow Rd. at Walnut St. should either be made "no left turn" or the traffic light cycle should be changed so that westbound traffic gets a period of simultaneous green light and green left turn arrow to allow traffic to clear.
The traffic light and pedestrian crosswalk lights are causing close calls with pedestrians. The green arrow for the turn lane and the walk sign come on at the same time. This is dangerous for pedestrians crossing the bypass as cars are not looking for pedestrians due to green arrow.
yellow light is burnt out. east bound on grimes
Bloomington's traffic signal timing is, in general, inadequate. Traffic patterns in the city are highly variable, changing drastically as students arrive and leave with the university schedule and as new student housing is constructed. It would be wonderful if the city were to invest in a system which changes traffic signals in real time as a function of data collected from sensors at intersections. Surely there will be graduate students, postdocs, and faculty in the Luddy School eager to help out with a cool "smart city" project...
On the southeast corner of the intersection. on the side of the pole facing the courthouse, there are 2 bare wires exposed. My brother and I noticed it last night (12/23/2014) around 6pm. This is on the traffic signal green post. Looks dangerous!
cross walk light only works part of the time
The walk light on the northeast corner of 7th and Walnut is out.
I couldn't find a "street sign" option: On exiting the library parking lot, there needs to be a "one way" or "right turn only" sign. A "right turn only" sign could be placed on the same post as the "exit" sign, just to the right of where cars stop, but the driver would not see it when stopped. Or a "one way" sign could be placed across the street. A painted arrow on the pavement might help, but it would have to be repainted regularly.
