traffic light at s patterson dr and s fairview st changes green to red in 10 second intervals
The signal at this intersection was set for a number of years so that it was traffic activated. Recently, this has been changed so that that light switches to red on Patterson (for quite a long time!) even when there are no cars waiting on Fairview - which is almost all the time. This holds up traffic on Patternson, which often backs up, sometimes to a depth of six or seven cars, and occasionally enough that the last cars in line can't make it through the intersection until the next cycle of the light. The city did this a few years ago with this light, only to change the light back to traffic-activated status after a few months. Has the lesson of that time now been forgotten?? Time to go back to things the way they were a couple of months ago! Leave well enough alone, people!
When turning left off of Basswood Drive, if you are not there BEFORE the light turns green for anyone going straight/right at the same intersection, your left turn light stays red until the next cycle. It is so unnecessary and should be a yellow caution arrow like literally every other street light in existence.
The left turn signal come on for those heading south on high, even when no cars are in the turn lane. North bound High street traffic is then delayed every time. In the morning, it can take 2-3 light cycles to get though because the north bound traffic is delayed in error.
Street light is out near our house. A light bulb needs to be replaced please. Thank you!
Turn signals triggering when cars aren't in the turn lanes.
Turn signal triggering although no car in turn lanes.
Turn signal is triggering although no cars are in the turn lane. This makes pedestrians and cars have to wait unnecessarily.
Turn signals for east and west traffic is triggered although no cars are in the turn lane.
The turn signal at the intersection of Kirkwood and Rogers is triggered although there are no cars in the turn lane. Such a weird idea. Install something but then the city doesn't maintain it. In turn, it destroys the environment because our cars idle at the stop light waiting for no reason. And hey you know what, this affects pedestrians too. Just standing there and can't cross the street because the invisible cars in the turn lane might run over me. Spend a dollar and maintain your infrastructure.
