Left turn signal for traffic going west on Kirkwood at the intersection of W. Kirkwood and Rogers is triggering when there is no traffic turning left. East bound traffic must sit at the light and wait for the turn signal when it shouldn't be triggering because no cars are in the turn lane.
I have had to run the stoplight the last two days because motorcycle will not set it off. If I get hit, I will be suing the city of Bloomington!!
The signal at this intersection was set for a number of years so that it was traffic activated. Recently, this has been changed so that that light switches to red on Patterson (for quite a long time!) even when there are no cars waiting on Fairview - which is almost all the time. This holds up traffic on Patternson, which often backs up, sometimes to a depth of six or seven cars, and occasionally enough that the last cars in line can't make it through the intersection until the next cycle of the light. The city did this a few years ago with this light, only to change the light back to traffic-activated status after a few months. Has the lesson of that time now been forgotten?? Time to go back to things the way they were a couple of months ago! Leave well enough alone, people!
The left turn signal come on for those heading south on high, even when no cars are in the turn lane. North bound High street traffic is then delayed every time. In the morning, it can take 2-3 light cycles to get though because the north bound traffic is delayed in error.
Turn signals for both east and west bound traffic are triggered although nobody is in the turn lanes. Pedestrians can't cross east/west and traffic going east/west just sits there while no cars are turning.
the walkway/lights are not timed right. A walker gets the hand stop sign and then the light changes too quickly for them to exit the intersection.
When turning left off of Basswood Drive, if you are not there BEFORE the light turns green for anyone going straight/right at the same intersection, your left turn light stays red until the next cycle. It is so unnecessary and should be a yellow caution arrow like literally every other street light in existence.
Our school bus driver says the light barely stays green long enough for her to get from Oakdale to Basswood daily. Can this green light time be extended a bit, please?
traffic light at s patterson dr and s fairview st changes green to red in 10 second intervals
Turn signals trigger although there are no cars in the turn lane. We really going on three years? Yep! A new traffic commission you don't say? Same old hacks doing a poor job. Keep telling yourself the intersection is going to be upgraded, but we all know you just suck at your job. Fix the lights!
