Traffic signal on Bloomfield westbound: red light is out
Traffic signal on Bloomfield westbound: red light is out
Green bulb is out on the North side of the intersection
this light appears to be mis-timed or not functioning properly to allow normal flow of traffic. I drive this intersection multiple times per day and it consistently stops E/W traffic when there is no traffic on N/S side, no pedestrian pushing the walk button. this causes E/W traffic to back up.
The traffic light at 1200 S Rolling Way and Bloomfield sometimes takes upwards of 10 minutes to cycle to allow left turning traffic from the apartment complexes.
I have no idea how many times I’ve complained about this light. I wish the head of this department lived out this way and had to wait through a quarter mile backup while the light switched back and forth without any cross traffic. Quit putting a band-aid on it and fix it permanently
The traffic light at Bloomfield Rd (2nd Street) & Rolling Ridge Way is a problem during normal commuting hours (7:30am-8:30am & 4:30pm-5:30pm). In the morning, traffic comes to a crawl and is backed up from this intersection all the way to the exits of Highway 69, often blocking the Highway exits. The short trip between the Highway exits and this intersection would normally take less than 1 minute. During the morning commute hours, it takes 5+ minutes. A similar situation occurs in the evening. Westbound traffic comes to a crawl and is commonly backed up from this intersection to S Patterson Drive, or sometimes even farther. This traffic light is certainly the cause. After passing this light, the congestion is no where to be seen and traffic flows normally. My suggestion would be to alter the programming of this light, during these specific hours, to be much more heavily biased toward East-West traffic. Perhaps it could stay green for East-West traffic for 50% longer than standard, or similar.
I don’t know how many times I’ve complained about this light. In the morning it backs up traffic to the interstate and in the evening it backs up to Landmark ave. It is not the result of Catalent traffic. The light cycles even if there is no cross traffic. When it does cycle it first lights the west bound turn light whether or not there is anyone in that lane. The local residents are beginning to believe this light is left broken as a form of punishment for opposing annexation
On 7th street the construction has resulted in multiple stop signs being taken out. Every day I see cars spewing through which is ferrying especially at night when it is hard to see pedestrians because of the new bike lane. This neighborhood is where my friends reside and every day I fear for their safety. These stops signs need to be put back in immediately because of the danger they are actively putting residents and students in. Construction should not result in danger for safety.
Eastbound Tapp left turn to northbound Rogers sensor is malfunctioning. Left turn arrow is always on even if no cars present. Consistent every day this week early in morning when no one there
Signals are not responding ro traffic. Have to wait for light to change from west bound Curry when there is no one there in the first place.
