Traffic Signals
2900-3798 N Old State Road 37, Bloomington, Indiana, 47404
- Case Date:
- 5/4/2020
Signal at intersection of N old SR 37 and N Walnut, which is part of the Cascades bike&ped path, does not ever give a 'walk' signal, even if the button is depressed. It just says out loud 'wait' and then doesn't ever show white/walk. The city's transportation plan says peds are the highest priority out of all transportation users, so consider making it good. The light should be in pedestrian recall mode, so that there is a 'walk' every phase whether someone touches the button or not. The default 'walk' should be long enough to cross that leg of the intersection. When the button is pressed, it should be the highest signal priority and car traffic should see an instantaneous yellow light, and then a red light should be displayed in both directions (all cars stop!) for long enough to cross both crossings (~150ft, so at *least* 60 seconds). There must be a 'no turn on red' for cars northbound on Walnut turning to east, because visibility there is poor. There should be a 'no turn on red' for cars westbound on old 37.
