I am investigating an auto accident that occurred on 1/31/13. I am with American Family Insuance. The accident occurred at Walnut St and Hillside Dr. My question is, Are there any traffic cams at this intersection. If so, how would I be able to get a copy? Thank you for your assistance.
Caller reported that traffic light at 2nd and College is malfunctioning. The right-hand light (as seen driving south on College) is blinking intermittently like a strobe light. ________________ 1:08p We just received a second call regarding this light. Thanks.
Caller reported that lightd at College Mall Rd. and Eastland Plaza work well from 3 directions, but on one side (from College Mall Road turning into Eastland Plaza) it takes 3 rounds to get a straight green light rather than just a green arrow.
On the 600 block of Patterson Drive and 2nd Street is a crosswalk light that is out of sync. The crosswalk light turns green as well as on coming traffic. Very dangerous.
Crosswalk button on Bloomfield Rd & Landmark Ave by Williams Brothers, is malfunction. It doesn't seem to respond. Resident waited 3 light cycles to be able to go.
Green bulb is out on the North side of the intersection
Westbound traffic on W. Bloomfield Rd. is delayed significantly while Eastbound traffic is able to continue regardless of any Eastbound traffic turning or anyone even being in the turn lane.
please call to dicuss reflect college mall road 812 333 1845
Caller said that the stop sign on Dodds at S. Rogers is blown through repeatedly. The painted white lines alerting drivers to the stop have faded and need repainting, and he also suggested adding reflective material to the stop sign.
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.
