Traffic signal not working properly at East 10th street and North Union. This signal is cycling through incorrectly and backing up eastbound traffic to Jordan Ave during peak times.
The traffic light at 10th and Union needs to have its sensors checked. Starting late last week, it stopped responding to the sensors in the road. It shows green for far too long on Union, which backs up traffic unnecessarily on 10th St. (This isn't due to increased cars on 10th St, but rather due to the light's short cycle.) At night, the light will run a full cycle even if there is no traffic and will not respond to cars idling over the road sensors. Thank you.
The pedestrian crosswalk lights at 10th and Jordan are not turning to walk when it seems like they should be.
The pedestrian signals for the N-S crosswalk across Jordan Ave. on the west side of the 10th and Jordan intersection are not working. After pressing the button, the Walk signal never activates through multiple cycles. The small red lights above the buttons remain illuminated. I previously reported this two weeks ago on Feb. 27, so I wanted to make sure you were aware that this signal is still malfunctioning. I have seen (and been a part of) several near misses between vehicles and pedestrians that were at least partly a result of there being no Walk signal. Thanks for looking into this.
I have witnessed several vehicles in the straight lanes begin to pull through the intersection of 3rd street and College Mall Rd when the 2 turn arrows turn green. I have seen one accident, the turning lanes yield to the car that has mistakenly gone straight on the green arrows, and cars that have began to go through the red lights but then realize only the arrows have turned green. I'm just concerned that there will be more accidents and Im curious if there is a spacing issue with the arrows and the other signals.
Right turn arrow is not turning green for traffic driving south on 37 and turning onto West Tapp Rd
The timer on the left turn signal to turn east onto Tapp road at the intersection of Tapp and 37 is malfunctioning. The length of time that the turn light is green is only allowing four cars per cycle to turn left. This is causing a backup greater than the length of the turn lane resulting in a traffic hazard.
10th and Union lights are not working properly
Northbound left turn lane at the intersection of Walnut St. and Hillside Dr. appears to have issues with its sensor. Southbound traffic waiting a minute or more for green light, despite no traffic turning left from the north.
