For some time now, light at Hillside and Henderson has been activating left turn arrow unnecessarily. Arrow from Hillside EB to turn onto Henderson NB activates whether or not a vehicle is there. This delays Hillside WB traffic and at times causes a bit of a backup in front of the school and bus stop.
I was at this intersection for a long time on the evening of Dec 26 and I think the light was not ever cycling. People were giving up and driving through the red light because it never turned green.
The pedestrian lights are permanently red in all four directions. The lights turn green only for the cars. It is difficult enough getting through this intersection, without the drivers assuming that if your light is red you are never permitted to cross.
Walk/ don’t walk signs on NE and NW corners of 3rd and Rogers are stuck on Don’t walk. Thanks.
College mall/ East Moore's intersection. The eastbound light on e Moore's stays red through several cycles sometimes. Both turn lanes go and the westbound lane goes but eastbound doesn't.
The traffic lights along the N. Walnut corridor through downtown have become unsynced. This is causing severe disruptions to traffic flow during high volume periods including morning and afternoon. Coupled with the recently installed no turn on red signs at the cross streets, I have noted an increase in cars driving through red lights because they are caught up in hitting every red light through downtown. Please snyc the lights again.
Thank you: Last month I submitted a Ureport regarding synchronization of traffic signals on Walnut Street from 2nd - 10th Street. This is a message to recognize the recalibration and synchronization that has occurred since my message. Many thanks to all team members who assisted and fixed the complaint I had. You all rock!!! Special thanks to Chris Axsom and Freddie Love for personally replying to me with updates. I am now saving 5+ minutes on my daily morning commute.
Several traffic lights on College Mall Road have their timing off in the early morning. They are red for an extended time when no one is there. The problem areas are at Covenanter, Buick-Cadillac and by Fazolis. The flow of traffic is greatly hindered. They were fine before the two recent wind storms.
The sensors for the light for traffic southbound on High St. give that direction the green light (straight and turn) even when there are no cars there. The northbound lane can sit for a while waiting for the green for a while. I haven't timed it, but it feels like a full left turn cycle. This is not only inefficient, but frustrating. When you live in the area and have to deal with this all the time, it can really be annoying.
Recently, I've noticed something odd with the timing of the traffic lights, to the point that it almost seems like the city's purposely changed them, I'm not good number of flights around town as soon as one turns green and you start the next one will purposely turn red before you even get to it and this is many many of the lights around town day and night so you literally have to stop at every light, honestly this was done on purpose?
