Traffic light is out
Traffic light is out
Going through the light at Adam’s and 2nd street heading east/west bound, the light only stays green long enough for 4 cars to get through and is backing up traffic.
Light timing is horrible at this intersection. Traffic on 2nd is forced to wait a full signal cycle for few (if any) cars on Adams, and it’s been like that for months. Often, the light timing issues also compound with the 2nd and Patterson intersection, which has its own design issues. Today (4/27/2025), the timing was somehow even worse than usual, causing a major backup.
The traffic light is longer for the traffic on Adam’s Street vs the traffic on 2nd Street causing a back up all. The timing should be flipped so the green light is longer for the traffic on 2nd Street.
The traffic signal at Adams and 2nd/Bloomfield seems to be functioning incorrectly. Traffic is very backed up at the time of this report.
Light regularly does not change to green for traffic going south even with multiple cars sitting it will cycle through multiple times unless someone needs to turn left.
My wife and I live at 515 W 3rd st, in Prospect Hill. I would like to request a simple upgrade to the functionality of the pedestrian signals at the S. Rogers st. and W. 3rd st. traffic interchange. I will reference the City of Chicago as a best practice. In Chicago, in almost every intersection with a traffic light, all pedestrian signals utilize the following sequence: a) When the light turns green, the white walk icon light actuates. b) When the pedestrian signal reaches the 30 second level (sometimes more or less than 30 seconds, depending on the overall duration of the light), the white walk signal changes to a red blinking don't walk icon and countdown timer, which counts down the remaining walk time. c) When the timer reaches 0, the blinking light changes to a full red don't walk icon. This coincides with the traffic light turning yellow. d) This functionality is in place 24/7/365. This functionality provides crucially important situational information to both drivers and pedestrians on the status of the traffic light. This is especially important as we somewhat frequently witness incidents of road rage at this intersection, as an unintended consequence of the no right turn on red signage that has been placed at this intersection. I am generally supportive of the no right turn on red signs, but the signage has definitely created this new issue. Because this functionality already exists at this intersection (in some pedestrian signals, at some times of the day), there should not be any material cost to make this change. It will require a technician to modify the code in the microprocessor that controls the lights. Please feel free to reach out to me if you would like to discuss further. Thank you.

All stoplights are out at 2nd and High St
This location would benefit from pedestrian crossing signs. Pedestrians are often stuck in the intersection while the light changes for vehicular traffic because they do not have enough notice of the traffic signal change.
17th and Eagleson needs a traffic signal. Too dangerous for pedestrians and northbound Eagleson gets extremely backed up during busy hours
