Traffic Related Complaints
Smith Rd and 3rd St, Bloomington, IN 47401, USA
- Case Date:
- 7/28/2021
I live off of Smith Rd and travel the road multiple times a day. I am almost in an accident every time I’m at this intersection. Vehicles that are crossing Smith Rd are constantly going around vehicles trying to turn from Smith Rd onto 3rd St, as if there is a turn lane. I have spent an entire green light attempting to turn onto 3rd St, unable to do so because of this issue. Traffic is frequently backed up. If you do not pull into the intersection while trying to turn onto 3rd St, vehicles crossing Smith Rd display angry gestures and honking because they cannot cross while you are unable to turn. Turn lanes and turn arrows need to be implemented here.

Smith Rd, Between E Third and Moore's Pike

Smith Rd often has folks speeding between E Third and Moore's Pike. There are no stop signs and no traffic monitoring... and too many folks just whiz along.
It can be dangerous checking the mailbox or crossing the road and animals crossing the road are in peril.
Need traffic monitoring and better placement of speed limit signage (the sign near the Lutheran Church is not nicely visible/not effectively placed....and it is the only one). The intersection at Smith and 3rd is horrendous. It is very difficult making a left from Smith to E 3rd and cars behind grow impatient. Thank you.

Shamrock Pointe apartments, extremely high weeds, along the sidewalk and road at the entrance to the apartments in contrast to the other side of the street, which is well kept.

Extremely high weeds where the Railroad property meets Smith Road on both sides of the underpass and both sides of the street, I would assume this is railroad responsibility.

Some neighbors on Buttonwood Lane in Spicewood II (a sign is placed on Sare Road) have a coffee, baked goods sale every Sunday in their driveway. This has been going on for over 6 months. Doesn’t the kitchen have to be licensed? A week or 2 seemed ok but this is going on forever. I think a percentage of revenue goes to charity. ??

This intersection is a fatality waiting to happen. I just watched an inattentive driver blow straight through the stop sign coming south on Covenanter. If the driver already stopped on Cadillac hadn’t been paying attention when they had the right of way, they would have been t boned by an suv traveling over 35mph. The intersection is too large and really should be a roundabout
