Lights is blinking only red
Lights is blinking only red
The stop sign at Maxwell and High, southbound, has become obscured by the leafy branch of a tree. I've nearly missed the stop twice and had to brake suddenly because I didn't see the sign and had forgotten it was there.
traffic light at s walnut & grimes lane turn lane sensors not functioning. traffic on grimes heading west is backed up for blocks. took 5 light changes to get 4 cars thru without a functioning turn arrow
Patterson traffic light to turn onto 3rd Street West is red far too long
The street sign at the intersection of East Stephens and Deckard is both bent in half and tilted upward, making it incredibly difficult to read.
The stop sign is blocked at the intersection of Ross Lane and Timothy Drive (just off West Allen Street). A tree is growing a few feet in front of the sign, and completely hides the stop sign.
It appears the turn arrow for the west bound lane of 10th street at Jordan Ave is not working
One of the pedestrian crosswalk signs is not functioning at the corner of Indiana Avenue & East Third Street.
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?
To whom it may concern: I'm writing today about the intersection of S. Hillsdale Dr and E 3rd St in Bloomington, Indiana. Specifically, I'm concerned with the functioning of the traffic signal at that intersection. In short, because the stop line is set pretty far back on Westbound lane of E 3rd St, Westbound drivers rushing through the yellow light have to go a very long way, much longer than those of us using the yellow to make a left turn northbound onto Hillsdale (when there is traffic, there is no choice except making left on the yellow). I'm not doing a great job explaining it here but given the long set-back, it seems odd that both of those lights turn yellow at the same time. I'd be happy to explain better via phone and/or someone could easily observe this dynamic at said intersection. Thanks
