Traffic signal at Bloomfield Road and Adams Street needs attention. The light heading West and East is only holding for about 6-8 cars. There is nobody waiting at Adams and it holds forever creating a backup on Bloomfield Rd.
The traffic signal only lets 6 cars go on Bloomfield Rd with nobody waiting on Adams Street. Then it holds forever for Adams St.
The traffic signal at Adams and 2nd/Bloomfield seems to be functioning incorrectly. Traffic is very backed up at the time of this report.
The light going east/west on 2nd/Bloomington Rd is very short (at least on certian days and times). I've been in lines with piles of cars for this light with only a few get through each time, making you stop for several light rotations on an otherwise traffic free drive. Usually only a few cars (and sometimes absolutely none) go through the light in the north/south direction while the east/west lines are waiting. Thought this was weird, and it doesn't always happen, but it's annoying when it does.
Going through the light at Adam’s and 2nd street heading east/west bound, the light only stays green long enough for 4 cars to get through and is backing up traffic.
Light timing is horrible at this intersection. Traffic on 2nd is forced to wait a full signal cycle for few (if any) cars on Adams, and it’s been like that for months. Often, the light timing issues also compound with the 2nd and Patterson intersection, which has its own design issues. Today (4/27/2025), the timing was somehow even worse than usual, causing a major backup.

Traffic Lights at the intersection of South Adams and W Bloomfield/W 2nd St. While waiting on S Adams lights for Bloomfield/2nd will turn yellow, then red for less than a second before going back to green and starting the whole cycle over. This happened twice to me on 7/13 at around 2:45pm and then again around 11pm. During this glitch S Adams lights stays red.
Road lane lines are almost imperceptible in daylight, absolutely so in the dark, and the old blacked-out lines are the ONLY thing visible in the dark and rain. Dangerous!
