The new traffic light at Adams and Patterson
The new traffic light at Adams and Patterson
Turning south on College Mall from westbound 3rd is getting backed up because the signal at College Mall and the entrance to the mall doesn't turn green for southbound traffic in time. The result is that traffic travelling East on 3rd cannot proceed trough the intersection.
Moored pike and college mall rd. went through cycle at least 3times without letting traffic go west. I go through that intersection about 7:30-7:45 tues and thurs. Does not occur every time.
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!
Timing is completely off during late night hours (after 11pm). Light is functioning the same as if during heavy day traffic - with a wait time of 3-5 minutes while light cycles for all lanes, even when no one there. People are (understandably) running the light instead of waiting.
Left turn arrow from SB Veterans to EB Lincoln would not cycle. Sat through 4 cycles of the light stopped about a foot behind the line.
Traffic continually builds up here. The addition of the I-69 interchange will only make things worse. Very little traffic comes from northbound or southbound Rockport Rd. especially at peak travel times. A flashing red/yellow light combination would be a great improvement to a four way stop, even if only temporarily.
Lights are flashing yellow for Curry and red for Profile.
At the intersection of Patterson and Rogers, the traffic signal does not allow adequate time for the north/south traffic to move through the light. At peak traffic times, I rarely get through the light without sitting through at least two red lights; frequently it takes three red lights before I get through. There is considerable North/South traffic on Rogers, but the light does not allow that traffic to move in a expeditious manner. The East/West traffic on Patterson/Grimes has more than adequate time to move through the vehicles. Can this light be adjusted to better serve the actual traffice patterns at peak traffic times?
Just a THANK YOU!! Within days of my recent report on regular Stop-sign running on eastbound Maxwell @ Highland in Elm Heights, reflector strips were placed on the Stop sign posts both directions. I think things have improved. I see people stopping now who could plainly get away with NOT. I'm hopeful. Thanks so much!!
