Unsafe structure.
Ever since the turn lanes on 3rd were changed, people have been trying to turn from the opposite direction's turn lane (ie, they are trying to turn into Burger King area while stopped in and blocking the left turn lane to Curry Pike). They not only block traffic for people trying to use their correct turn lane, but I have also witnessed multiple near misses for head on collisions at this spot. It would be nice to get a set of barrier poles like the ones in front of the Arby's.
The traffic light at 3rd and Madison turns red for 3rd and green for Madison when there is no one trying to cross at Madison, either in a vehicle, on a bike, or as a pedestrian. 3rd is the detour for the Rogers closure, and it causes backups on 3rd when the light is red for 40-50 seconds for no reason. Then, the light at 3rd and Rogers is not timing up with the erroneous red lights at Madison, so traffic just backs up yet again one block away between those two lights. Send someone out ot fix this. Madison used to require someone to be there to trigger it. That would be a much better solution, go back to how it worked fine before.
This light is back on timers and no longer using the magnetic sensors. Do we know why they were changed? It has been a few weeks since noticing this one and others on my route to work. Seems to cause undue delays and traffic backups with no cross traffic in sight at 5am. Thank you!
When exiting or entering Woodyard from my home in a vehicle, I must cross the walking trail. There is no signage to designate right of way or caution to either drivers or walkers/bikers. I feel this is an unsafe situation for both driver and pedestrian and right of way should be clearly designated. Other private driveways on the trail have signs that indicate cross traffic does not stop. I would suggest the same signage here.
