Bloomfield Rd and Rolling Ridge Way at the Twin Lakes Recreational Center, Bloomington, IN 47403, USA
- Case Date:
- 8/26/2021
The traffic light at Bloomfield Rd (2nd Street) & Rolling Ridge Way is a problem during normal commuting hours (7:30am-8:30am & 4:30pm-5:30pm). In the morning, traffic comes to a crawl and is backed up from this intersection all the way to the exits of Highway 69, often blocking the Highway exits. The short trip between the Highway exits and this intersection would normally take less than 1 minute. During the morning commute hours, it takes 5+ minutes.
A similar situation occurs in the evening. Westbound traffic comes to a crawl and is commonly backed up from this intersection to S Patterson Drive, or sometimes even farther.
This traffic light is certainly the cause. After passing this light, the congestion is no where to be seen and traffic flows normally.
My suggestion would be to alter the programming of this light, during these specific hours, to be much more heavily biased toward East-West traffic. Perhaps it could stay green for East-West traffic for 50% longer than standard, or similar.

I don’t know how many times I’ve complained about this light. In the morning it backs up traffic to the interstate and in the evening it backs up to Landmark ave. It is not the result of Catalent traffic. The light cycles even if there is no cross traffic. When it does cycle it first lights the west bound turn light whether or not there is anyone in that lane. The local residents are beginning to believe this light is left broken as a form of punishment for opposing annexation

I have complained about this light for literally years. The light switches and stops Bloomfield road traffic when there is no cross traffic. It is not a result of Catalent traffic from the Sportsplex. When the light does switch it allows west bound traffic but also activates the left turn signal light with no one in the lane. This holds up the east bound traffic for the length of the light. In the morning the traffic was backed up so far west I couldn’t see the end of it. Last night(10/6) the traffic was backed up to Landmark (4 tens of a mile) while the light went through it’s broken cycle during rush hour. The last time I complained it took a month for the repair to happen and it lasted one week. Last year when I spoke to the technician who was working on it he said the sensors were broken. Why does a supposed green administration allow all of those cars to sit and idle and pollute while frustrating all of those commuters. Is it just city incompetence or a deliberate attempt to punish or influence west side residents on the matter of annexation. I’m going to copy this and post it on every city platform I can find every day until this is fixed. I’m going to put up realtor type signs to garner commuter support against this problem. Please fix it permanently

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.
