I noticed that the "ONE WAY" sign on 7th Street to the east of Lincoln is behind a tree. The sign is in the median of the bike lane curb on 7th, and it is pointing an arrow to the north, presumably to tell traffic headed east on 7th that Lincoln is a one way. A small street tree is planted directly in front of the sign, obstructing its view.
When heading west in the 7th Street bike lane from Indiana to Dunn, tree branches obstruct the view of the stop sign that is on the south side of the path.
Heading east on 7th towards Dunn, there seem to be trees or tree branches blocking every stop sign from full visibility. This seems dangerous to have the one intersection with stop signs in that area have obstructions of being able to see the stop signs as a vehicle driver.
(1) The speed limit sign on S. Swain Ave. posts a 30mph limit between University and E. 2nd St. This is a block with 3 houses in an area with 25mph. It would make more sense to make it consistent. (2) This evening another deer almost got hit at the intersection of S. Swain Ave. and E. 2nd St. Drivers speed on E. 2nd St. between the stop signs on Jordan and Mitchell. To make it safer, a stop sign should be placed at this intersection. At the very least, a Deer Crossing sign. I've lived here 5 years and it's been a constant concern.
The traffic lights at the intersection of E. 2nd St and S High St appear to be on a timer 24 hours a day. This includes the left turn arrow for cars coming from the north; it always comes on whether there is a car there or not. For those of us who regularly drive through this intersection early in the morning (5:00 am and 7:00 am), it is an unnecessary waste of time and fuel to wait through the full rotation of the lights when there not be even a single other car the entire time. Can the traffic lights at this intersection be switched to sensors for a designated time at night until 7:00 am? Or, can they be set to flash red so it is essentially a 4-way stop?
I took this picture from University & Henderson. You cannot see the stop sign at 1st street at all. You cannot see it from 2nd & Henderson either, but I cannot upload more than 1 photo.
Street signs are bent over at top of sign pole.
One green light south bound on Dunn st
Driving eastbound and approaching Indiana, the stop sign is on a downhill and hidden by a tree until a driver is very close to the intersection. Most intersections on 12th have no stop, so folks new to the area are likely to miss it.
