The traffic light and pedestrian crosswalk lights are causing close calls with pedestrians. The green arrow for the turn lane and the walk sign come on at the same time. This is dangerous for pedestrians crossing the bypass as cars are not looking for pedestrians due to green arrow.
Since construction started on Winslow Rd. between Walnut St. Pike and S. Walnut St., westbound traffic on Winslow has been a mess due to the single westbound lane approaching the intersection with S. Walnut St. If there is a mix of cars going straight and cars turning left in the single westbound lane, only 2-3 cars make it through on each cycle of the traffic light. During this construction, westbound Winslow Rd. at Walnut St. should either be made "no left turn" or the traffic light cycle should be changed so that westbound traffic gets a period of simultaneous green light and green left turn arrow to allow traffic to clear.
It would be really nice to have a traffic light put at the intersection of Dillman Road & Old SR37. This intersection is horrible & I have about had many wrecks there just trying to pull out
Sensors not functioning since Spring, 2017.
Hey Neil, Thanks a lot! It's heartwarming that you're looking into it, aging equipment not withstanding. Re: Kirkwood/Walnut...if you're in front of the Book Corner, or across from it in front of the Courthouse trying to get to the Book Corner corner, and it's you've just this second gotten the green pedestrian sign, you will not make it across during the green hand (or whatever the symbol is). Never. I'm really healthy and I can't get across before the pedestrian sign changes and opens up the car traffic. Turning cars are not inclined to watch pedestrians, they're distracted by oncoming traffic and timing their own turns. Thus, squashed pedestrian. Kind of you to take an interest, Neil. Happy New Year! Lisa Horwitz (IT wouldn't let me simply reply to your email. Did you know that?)
The lights on 3rd street between Patterson and Curry are horribly timed. You are lucky to get through a light on the 5th cycle. I don't understand why these lights are so badly timed when lights on Walnut/College are so well timed. Thank you!
it is taking far too long to get from Landmark ave. to the Mcdonalds on west 3rd. I spent 20 minutes today in that area and there wasn't an accident nor workers working. I have worked with doctors who did their residency at County general in Chicago, and they on more than one occasion that they could get from one side of downtown chicago to the other faster than getting across Bloomington. That says something for our traffic flow!
Traffic signal does not give west bound or east bound traffic enough time at West 3rd and Frankin, by McDonalds.10 cars back and fifteen minutes later you get to turn is awful. Lights are not synced correctly. Light will be green for the 37 exit north bound but red for the West Bound traffic. Can this be corrected soon it has went on for too long now and is causing major traffic problems!
Traffic light at S Patterson coming out of former Cook Pharmica takes 1min 40 sec to change. Traffic light at S Patterson to 2nd St. turn arrow last less than 10 sec. Traffic light at S Patterson to 3 rd. St. takes 1min 40 sec to change. Traffic light at S. Ranson to Bloomfield Rd 1 min and 30 sec to change. I would like to suggest that you send someone out to the Bay Area in Ca. and have them show them how they set up there signals. They are experts in traffic flow. If you come to an intersection and the light is red and there is know one there it will change too green in seconds. It saves people time and money not having to sit at a light waiting for it to change.
summary: crosswalk button not working. i was in front of the "cozy table" restaurant on w 3rd st (where it intersects with kimble) & the crosswalk button there is not working. i pressed it several times.
