at the traffic signal at 14th and walnut, there is a painted/thermoplastic stop bar missing. westbound traffic approaching walnut does not have a white bar on the pavement to indicate they should stop before the crosswalk. i presume it got lost when that stretch of east 14th was resurfaced just before "the standard" apartment project was completed. i just want to see this intersection as legible as possible so that traffic on 14th street doesn't misinterpret the stop light. thanks!
The left turn arrow for northbound South Walnut at Grimes is cycling green for a full minute every time regardless of how many cars are turning.
Traffic lights on 4th at 4th/College seem mis-timed, at least when I am driving east at 8:30 am. The College Ave lights, in front of Serendipity/Atlas, are red for about 7 seconds before the 4th St light turns green. The same light at 4th/Walnut turns at the expected time. I'm seeing people sneak through 4th/College some mornings because the one-way southbound College Ave traffic is so clearly stopped to our left.
I couldn't find a "street sign" option: On exiting the library parking lot, there needs to be a "one way" or "right turn only" sign. A "right turn only" sign could be placed on the same post as the "exit" sign, just to the right of where cars stop, but the driver would not see it when stopped. Or a "one way" sign could be placed across the street. A painted arrow on the pavement might help, but it would have to be repainted regularly.
The walk light on the northeast corner of 7th and Walnut is out.
cross walk light only works part of the time
On the southeast corner of the intersection. on the side of the pole facing the courthouse, there are 2 bare wires exposed. My brother and I noticed it last night (12/23/2014) around 6pm. This is on the traffic signal green post. Looks dangerous!
Bloomington's traffic signal timing is, in general, inadequate. Traffic patterns in the city are highly variable, changing drastically as students arrive and leave with the university schedule and as new student housing is constructed. It would be wonderful if the city were to invest in a system which changes traffic signals in real time as a function of data collected from sensors at intersections. Surely there will be graduate students, postdocs, and faculty in the Luddy School eager to help out with a cool "smart city" project...
yellow light is burnt out. east bound on grimes
