In November I had reported an issue with the traffic signal at Hillside/High St. (Case #199372). It was closed as resolved, but the issue has never been corrected. There is an issue with the sequencing of the light phasing. The cars heading south High St. always receive a left turn signal, regardless if there is a car sitting in the turn lane. The north/south bound lanes already receive a significantly less phase time (understandably so given the traffic on Hillside), but this creates an even shorter phase for cars going north on High St., especially with the no turn on reds posted at this intersection. Can the phasing of this light be addressed so that the southbound traffic doesn't receive a left turn signal unless there is a car in the turn lane?
The left turn signal for south bound traffic on high st always comes on, even when there are no cars in the turn lane. This delays the north bound high st traffic, especially in the morning when it may take 3 light cycles because this malfunction.
Traffic turn signal runs without cars in the turn lane. The turn signal is on Hight St pointing south.
Right turn arrow is not turning green for traffic driving south on 37 and turning onto West Tapp Rd
The timer on the left turn signal to turn east onto Tapp road at the intersection of Tapp and 37 is malfunctioning. The length of time that the turn light is green is only allowing four cars per cycle to turn left. This is causing a backup greater than the length of the turn lane resulting in a traffic hazard.
The traffic lights here will only turn green for drivers doing N/S on Walnut. Cats on Hillside sit at a permanent red light.
Traffic is backed up all the way to nearly Childs Elementary because of the Sare road closing and detour. The stop light at High and Hillside needs to be reprogrammed to allow more traffic through going north and south.
hillside is a much busier street than henderson. during peak traffic a dozen or more cars traveling east or west on hillside will be stopped at this light. idling. waiting for a car or two traveling north or south on henderson to pass. can the timing of this light be adjusted to reflect the actual flow of traffic through this intersection
So I've talked to you guys before about this issue how you guys have the timing for the traffic lights set up and of course you know you guys basically said all their set correctly but here's the issue all over town and multiple times a day I have to travel various places in town for my job. And you guys have the signaling set up to where you come to a stop at one red light and it goes green and the very second you arrived the next stoplight doing the speed limit it turns red it's really bad on West 3rd Street but specifically the portion of town that I have to drive through half dozen times a day from Miller Street to 2nd Street you literally have to stop every single traffic light because you guys have set the traffic signaling to make you stop at the red light. Having lived a lot of different places this is something that's very unique to Bloomington you know I'm sure you're going to tell me that's the way it's supposed to be which in turn means that you just wanted to turn people from driving but it's straight bullshit on a busy road like that that northbound traffic or southbound traffic you guys have it set that way West 3rd Street you literally have people having to stop in the intersection because you guys want to play games!! Yeah it's funny because when I called the mayor's office they acknowledged that the timings were messed up but said they would defer to you people
