Traffic southbound on Jordan is always held up by people waiting for the left turn to go east on Atwater. Countless times I've seen that the light has already cycled to yellow by the time northbound traffic has cleared, and as a result cars have backed up all the way to third st. If the switching equipment allows jordan southbound to get green BEFORE jordan northbound, it will improve intersection throughput tremendously.
Corner of Dunn and 3rd street, need to place an additional "no turn on red sign" next to signal light. Many people turn right onto 3rd street from Dunn in front of on-coming traffic.
Dangerous Crossing of Third Street. Traffic on 3rd is going one-way west. Traffic on Henderson is going one-way north. Cars wishing to make a right on red often only look left (to spot oncoming traffic) and do not look right, where pedestrians are crossing with a little white man telling them it's safe to go. I have witnessed three very close calls where pedestrians trying to cross were almost hit by drivers making a right on red. The solution is to prohibit a right on red in this very heavily trafficked area. Please don't wait for someone to be actually hit to make this change. Thanks!
Hi, I contacted the city last week about a stop sign on 2nd and Ballantine that is completely covered by a tree. It is a danger as it should be a 4 way stop, but people don't see it and will fly through it. Please get the tree trimmed so it doesn't cover up the stop sign. Thank you. Best, Ingrid
Not really a "Traffic signal" but I couldn't find a "Sign" category: The "No Parking" sign in front of 1300 E. Southdowns Dr. was rammed and damaged by a fast-moving hit-and-run white panel truck at 2:30 pm today, 5/28/2014. Sign was bent and is now leaning. I heard the noise, saw the truck driving past, but did not notice identifying markings on the truck -- it may have been solid white. It had to be driving on the grass to do this damage.
I often bike north on Jordan avenue to 3rd St., then turn left onto 3rd with the traffic light. Before the recent construction, the left turn signal appeared to be on a timer, and now it seems to be activated by a metal-sensitive loop in the pavement. But so far I have been unable to trigger the left turn signal with my bicycle. I have been instructed to ride exactly on the wire, and I ride a steel frame bike from 1970, so it should have plenty of metal to be detected. Is there some way to make sure this traffic light actuator is sensitive enough to work for bicyclists as well as for cars?
Hello, The stop lights at the intersections of Jordan and Atwater, and the intersection at 3rd and Jordan, are not synced. As a result, people driving to and from campus get hit by both stop lights. They used to be synced up with one another so drivers would make both lights if they were traveling east or if they were traveling west. Now, no matter what, you'll have to stop at one of them. Also, the green turn arrow light always comes on at the intersection of Jordan and 3rd, even if there is no traffic. This creates weird delays for people trying to leave campus. I know these complaints of mine are trivial, I'm not sure how much it would take to re-sync the stop lights. But I've worked on campus for years and it was perfect - now this happens and hundreds of people have to stop for 2 separate stop lights 4 or 5 times a day when it used to be zero stops.
I am not sure this is the right venue for this issue. There are very often parked cars on Lincoln St to the north and south of University in the yellow (no parking) area. These cars park nearly to the corner, making sight lines for those turning off University onto Lincoln very challenging. I have never seen these cars ticketed, and they do it constantly. Most commonly they are there on the weekends and in the mornings every day. Some oversight of this issue would help a lot
Stop sign on 2nd St. at Highland is hidden by overhanging branch. I have seen multiple cars run the stop sign presumably because they can't see it.
Prior to the road construction,there were arrows indicating that the left lane was a left turn only lane. The right lane is the one to go straight through to Jordan Avenue. Now that the arrow is no longer there, people in the left only lane are also driving straight through Jordan Ave causing mutilple close call accidents. Why is the left lane arrow missing on the pavement?
