The left turn arrow for southbound Walnut Street at Hillside Drive is activating even with no traffic in the lane. Stays on for a full left turn cycle.
The left turn arrow for southbound Walnut Street at Hillside Drive is activating even with no traffic in the lane. Stays on for a full left turn cycle.
Signal for turning left from north bound Curry Pike to Gifford Road comes on even if noone is there.
at walnut and winslow, the left turn arrows are not activating for any of the four directions.
Leaving lot for Fresh Thyme/Big Lots and attempting to turn left (East) on to 3rd St, current signal timing only allows, at best, 3 vehicles to proceed through the light. With the configuration of that lot entrance, this results in substantial backups and blockages.
Many, many times over the last 6 months this signal has gone out or to a red blinking state. This is at the north bound on/off ramp for 37/69 and 3rd St. Given the current east-west corridor limitations, the added delays here are a frustration at best.
Please check timing of lights. WB 17th gets backed up and NB Walnut ends up having problems. meanwhile SB College is clear of all cars. Please extend green for WB 17th.
nw pedestrian crosswalk light is burnt out
RRFB at allen&walnut doesn't work - northbound traffic does not yield. Went through twice on bike at about 9:30-10AM today (June 18), activated the beacon, and both times, SB traffic yielded and NB did not *at all*. I did not investigate the flawed design - that's planning&transportation's job.
Poorly timed traffic lights. maybe it seems like a small problem, and maybe its only noticeable during the summer months, but it seems common that cars are brought up to full speed only to have to stop at the next light while traveling a main route (Walnut, College Mall Rd, and Winslow Rd). It would be spectacular to allow the algorhythm thats used o determine when the lights change to be open source and worked on by IU informatics students. My primary concern stems from fuel efficiency.
There is not a single marked ped xing on Madison (Rogers) between 11th and 17th
