I seem to remember that when the traffic light was installed on Walnut Street at Smith Avenue it should have only turned red for Walnut when activated by pedestrian or vehicular traffic on Smith Avenue. I don't know if that designation changed or if there is an equipment malfunction, but for the past few weeks the light has been cycling on it's own with no traffic of any kind present on Smith Avenue.
Pedestrian signal not working
the left turn arrow for northbound walnut street at hillside activates without turn lane traffic present and stays activated for the full duration of it's maximum setting. the left turn arrow on third street at Patterson will not activate for motorcycles.
Why is there a restriction on left-hand turns off Patterson onto South Adams at this location (Patterson and South Adams)?
The digital sign that shows how fast you are going near Rogers/Binford schools has not been working for a couple of days. It is the one just past the intersection of High and Second, if you are going towards Woodcrest.
The left turn arrow from northbound S. Sare Rd. for vehicles turning left onto Moore's Pike frequently cycles on for more than a minute when there are no cars turning left. It stays green even longer than the opposing left turn arrow for southbound vehicles turning east that actually had cars turning. It backs traffic up on College Mall Road significantly. I've seen this malfunction on multiple occasions.
Traffic Stop Sign; the stop sign at the intersection of Adams and Allen St. is so hidden that people frequently plow through it. I suggest there be a sign put up that alerts drivers before the stop sign, as I have almost been in several car accidents as a result of people failing to stop at this sign (if you are heading West going toward the stop sign, it is that stop sign). It comes up really quickly on a hill and it hidden behind trees and it difficult to see (especially if you are driving too fast, which unfortunately many people in this city do).
We were traveling east on 10th St. this evening, approaching the bypass on the east side. While waiting for the red light to change to green, the train gate on the bypass lowered and a train approached also from the east. When a train is crossing the bypass, the light rightly does not allow traffic through from the north, as it would soon have nowhere to go. This is good. BUT it also did not allow our lane to travel through the intersection going east! I know there is no separate right-turn signal there to stop people from turning south onto the bypass, but it is not logical to stop all traffic going east as well. And besides, the light DOES allow westbound traffic on 10th Street to BOTH continue west AND turn south onto the bypass -- even though there is a separate signal there for the south-turn lane -- and those cars then are stopped by the crossing gate. This is really illogical, and should be remedied.
Light is still malfunctioning. Left turn arrow from northbound Sare to west turn onto E. Moore's Pk cycles when there are no cars and stays green for well over a minute.
