The light at Kirkwood for northbound Walnut Street traffic is out of sync again.
The light at Kirkwood for northbound Walnut Street traffic is out of sync again.
The traffic light here lacks left turn signals, which leads to people getting stuck in line behind people turning left, this problem exists for people going both directions. Because of the volume of traffic, it can take a cycle of 3 or more lights before turning left is possible. What happens then, is that people are passing the cars on the right, on the median or in the intersection, to get through the light. I have seen several near accidents here. Every morning and afternoon, you can see people doing this. It is an hourly occurrence and often involves several vehicles. It is an accident in the making.
Left turn signal from High Street turning on to Hillside no longer functions.
Wrong speed limit on Saratoga
Ped button on SE corner of intersection to cross Tenth doesn't work. Forces peds to cross on a red hand.
Traffic signal at W 2nd St and Rogers St: Lt arrow (from eastbound 2nd to northbound Rogers) is only letting 2 cars thru - normally is set on demand and lets many more thru. Causing backup on eastbound 2nd St.
Since the repaving on High St. the light favors traffic on High instead of the more travelled road of Hillside causing traffic to move less smoothly along Hillside.
Signal at 10th and Union skips the cycle for southbound traffic intermittently. Reported on behalf of IU Campus Bus Service.
Since High Street was paved and re-lined, the left signal at the Hillside/Moore's Pike intersection for the southbound lane is not tripped when a car is there.
This is a light which depends on a sensor, not timed. The sensor on High street (I believe the north side) seems to be permanently activated. This has adversely affected traffic.
