Northbound Walnut left turn arrow for Grimes is staying green for 30 seconds during non-peak times when there is just one vehicle turning.
Northbound Walnut left turn arrow for Grimes is staying green for 30 seconds during non-peak times when there is just one vehicle turning.
Left turn arrow for South Walnut onto East Grimes goes green every cycle regardless of whether or not a car is in the turn lane.
Patterson traffic lights at West 2nd have never been green long enough. This causes traffic to back up on Patterson and people running the red light to get through the intersection. Patterson needs another 5 seconds of green for the left turn arrows and 5 more seconds green to cross 2nd Street. This would allow another 3-5 cars through the intersection each cycle. Most of the time there's no traffic on 2nd Street while the Patterson lights are red.
Traffic light at College Mall Rd and Covenanter Drive is not cycling properly. The left turn loops or cameras are not working properly for traffic turning left from College Mall Rd onto Covenanter. The light is only allowing three to four cars to turn left for just six seconds. This causes southbound traffic on College Mall Rd to back up all the way to Burger King.
On Saturday I was eastbound on Covenanter and pulled up to the traffic light at College Mall Rd. I was in the right lane and the signal went through a full rotation and never gave me a green light to cross College Mall Rd. I ended up turning right/south on red.
Southbound S. Walnut at Hillside is cycling green every time regardless of whether or not there are cars waiting at the red, including the left turn arrow onto Hillside. And the left arrow is green for a long time with no cars.
Just making sure you guys know that the signal light has been malfunctioning for quite some time...doing full left turn signal cycles when no cars are turning.
This traffic signal has been malfunctioning for over a year and repair is slated for this year, hopefully, but in the interim, could you adjust the timer on the malfunctioning left turn arrow for S. Walnut to Hillside to only stay green for 15 or fewer seconds rather than the full 30 seconds that everyone has to wait going northbound now. Add'l note that if a car is actually turning left onto Hillside, the light cycles much faster.
Eastbound Patterson left turn arrow for Rogers north cycles green every time regardless of whether or not there's a car.
College Mall Rd and Buick Cadillac Blvd traffic light isn't working properly. It cycles red on College Mall Rd when there are no cars waiting on Buick Cadillac Blvd or in the apartment complex parking lot. And it take 3-4 minutes to turn green when you're waiting at the red on Buick Cadillac Blvd.
