Ms. Lentz reported a street light out.
On East side of Highland St. at the T-intersection with Wylie St. Vacnt lot at the dead end of Wylie over growth in to road way. Trail of conrete on road surface, she says some one could get hurt.
A resident called regarding the construction happening at W 2nd St + W Bloomfield St near the Buffalo Wild Wings. He said that traffic has backed him up for 30+ minutes and had he known this street was under construction, he would not have taken it. Requesting appropriate signs to be put out beyond the construction sight itself
In morning particularly, around 7:45a, the timing of the traffic signal at Walnut and Grimes often causes a backup in the northbound lanes of Walnut all the way to Hillside, due to people trying to turn west onto Grimes. Is it possible to re-time this signal? Thank you!
Traffic Light at 2nd street when exiting College Mall is not working right. The light is not changing from red to green. It stays red and is sometimes holding up traffic. This has happening for a couple months.
Someone called and left a message that the traffic signal at Indiana and Atwater was cycling incorrectly. It is not in sync with the pedestrian lights. It is telling pedestrians to walk on green lights.
Can you please replace the stop sign located at intersection of Thorton Drive and Maxwell Street (at the western side of the intersection on Thorton Drive). It is very faded and hard to see and i'm worried that somebody will go through the intersection without stopping. Please fix this problem for us in the neighborhood.
At a neighborhood Fourth of July party, the question came up on whether the faded stop sign at the corner of Forrester (north side) and Daniel will be replaced and moved in front of the tree that partially blocks it so motorists will stop at that intersection. We have a lot of children who walk to the park by both stop signs on Forrester and Daniel, so we were hoping there is a way to mark those intersections so they stop. Is there anyone in the city we should pose this question to? Thanks for any advice you can provide.
To any of the law enforcement branches and the monies collection branches and the roads and education branches that might use some extra dollars without increased taxes: I would like to propose that some traffic laws be enforced. Besides the revenue, some of these issues directly relate to traffic fatalities. I have seen itty bitty cars FORCE 18 wheelers to give the right of way. I have seen multiple aggressive drivers force others to give the right of way. If any of those that were forced to GIVE way just didn't, an accident would happen, maybe serious. I see drivers in such a hurry that they weave through lanes to get where they are going just to get to a stoplight. I see drivers that ignore the "turn into nearest lane" law. That one is almost universal. If one were to turn right on a red light and the other traffic was turning left on a turn left light and went directly to wrong lane, whose fault would it be if an "accident" occurred? I try to keep my car length per 10 MPH, but some just pass me and cut in front within 15 feet. By the same token, trying to keep that car length per 10 MPH gives every aggressive driver reason to cut in front of me from the left or right. If a left turn signal is given to change lanes, it signals those in that lane to speed up and prevent. At least that isn't illegal; just discourteous. I am talking about SR 37 S and N to Bloomington and back from Martinsville. This probably speaks about Indianapolis traffic, which with the amount of traffic is probably worse. At any rate, accidents could be reduced, revenue raised, if some traffic laws were enforced. Wouldn't stop light cameras also see drivers that turn to the furthest lane rather than the one closest? Couldn't any traffic cop on the highway see that drivers are following within one car length of each other for 10 cars/trucks or more? That is a major accident waiting to happen. Just one driver in front needs a reason to brake and a big pile-up. So what if it hasn't happened recently? It will. It has happened elsewhere, usually due to low visibilty conditions, but the same reason. Too close. Just because it hasn't happened recently, is this a reason to give drivers a free pass on tailgating, or turning into wrong lane or forcing others to give right of way on lane merges? After I saw that one driver FORCE an 18 wheeler off to the shoulder on a merge where the truck driver had the right of way, I keep my Aveo in the right lane where I am supposed to be and see if any try to force me out. So far, I have been able to keep my place or others on left have beat me to merge point. That is fine if they are ahead or close enough before they run out of lane. If they TRY to beat me after their lane has run out, I won't give anymore. I am tired of allowing others to force me to be courteous. They aren't asking for a bit of courtesy, they are EXPECTING someone to give the right of way. When they try to pass after their lane runs out....those are the aggressive ones that I have an issue with. The point is "Aggressive Driving." It might be useful in IndyCar and NASCAR. but not all of us are racecar drivers. Agressive Driving is NOT useful on highways. It will get people killed. For what? A few seconds to get past the vehicle in front or right or left? I see that it works a lot for those that are aggressive, but just that second or two could cost multiple lives. The point is that if some of these traffic laws in cities and on highways were enforced, drivers could be re-educated through their wallets or purses. It would be a win-win for safety and wherever traffic citation monies go.
