Third and Woodlawn. Light flashing red in all directions.
Third and Woodlawn. Light flashing red in all directions.
The green light was burnt out for northbound traffic on Walnut Street at Miller Drive. It's the light for Walnut traffic heading south to north. The green light on the right side (furthest east) of the set of lights was out just after 8pm this evening when I passed through.
This signal is operating as though the sensors that traffic trigger are not functioning
Left turn arrow for northbound Sare Rd to westbound Moore's Pike is malfunctioning. Left turn is activated even with no turning traffic present.
The Sare Rd north left turn arrow continues to malfunction. I reported this several weeks ago. Last three times thru the intersection I've witnessed the malfunction. The left turn arrow cycles green when there are no cars turning left and stays green for an entire minute, backing southbound traffic up on S. College Mall Rd. In fact, last night there were absolutely no cars in any of the three northbound lanes on Sare and the left turn arrow still cycled on for over a minute. Please advise.
The intersection of Patterson and 2nd street is horribly timed. The turning lane can maybe get 3-4 cars through it. The lanes that cross can maybe get 5-8. This especially bad in the mornings. There are several times that I have almost been hit by the turning lane as they are trying to rush the red light (due to the small # of cars that can get through). Also, there are several times that people in the turning lane on 2nd are running the light which puts the Patterson Drive people at a risk to get hit or not have enough time to get through the light.
Light for Rogers going north only turns green if the left arrow is tripped.
Traffic signal for eastbound traffic on 17th is hung up in the power/telecom overhead cables. Could damage the cables. Also makes it harder to see the light since its angled down.
SOUTH WALNUT ST PIKE AND WINSLOW RD INSTERSECTION: WIRES HANGING IN FRONT OF SIGNAL. CAN'T SEE WHEN TURN ARROW COMES ON
This light turns red for the major thoroughfare (Patterson) almost every time I travel that road, despite the fact that there are NO cars coming from the other direction (Adams). I can't understand a light dedicated solely to a school and college apartments to the detriment of the main through traffic, especially when no one is sitting at the light. It needs to have road sensors, not be set to a timer.
