South facing "WALK" light is out
South facing "WALK" light is out
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.
HAWK crosswalk at 19th and Dunn continuously flashing red
The traffic signal at Woodlawn and 3rd requires pedestrians to push the beg button to get the walk light to cross 3rd. Maybe that's reasonable on the west side of the intersection, but the walk light should come on automatically on the east side of the intersection, because there is no conflict with turning traffic. It is a particular issue because pedestrians coming from the north can't see what phase the lights for car traffic are in. This lack of information for pedestrians often causes some unsafe behavior that could be avoided if they could just rely on the walk signal that faces them to accurately convey whether they are in an east-west phase of the light cycle or a north-south phase.
Flashing red lights, all-ways
Synchronization of stoplight are off again, seems centered on 11th St
pedestrian walk signal facing N College, pole located on NE corner of 6th and college. Don't walk works fine. Walk visible signal not seeming to work.
The left turn arrow for the left turn does change to green. I sat through this light on Thursday and today for two light cycles and it never turned green.
Turn signal is triggered when no cars are present on Kirkwood. Occurring for over a year. Causes traffic that is headed east on Kirkwood and then north on Walnut to miss the chance for a green light at 6th and Walnut. Waste my time, gas, and kills our environment every single workday.
Hi! It's been long enough since I worked for the City that I can no longer remember whether this is a signal that the state or the city controls, so please let me know if I need to talk to the state instead. I am a parent of a North High School student, but we're districted in South, so we carpool every day to school and back. I noticed today that the signal at 46 and Kinser Pike doesn't stay green very long for the cars on Kinser. Normally, that makes total sense. However, I'm wondering if, during that pick up time in the afternoon when traffic backs up down Kinser Pike, the timing of the light could change to allow for more cars to get through that intersection. It would be so lovely if that were possible. It's a pretty small window, starting with when the school buses leave North, probably around 2:50 or so, and maybe going for 20 minutes after that? Thank you for your consideration.
