Almost every day a different car is parked on the sidewalk here (despite having a full private driveway)
In the alley behind Eastland Plaza trash is thrown everywhere and has not been cleaned up by employees.
Today I was at the intersection of Woodscrest and E Third, and the signal light was blinking red for north-south traffic and yellow for east-west traffic. I was traveling north on Woodscrest. From this side if the intersection, it is virtually impossible to tell (in daylight) that the traffic on Third has a blinking yellow -- meaning they DO NOT have to stop. From Woodscrest, with a blinking red, it could easily be misinterpreted as a 4-way stop! In addition, as I sat there waiting for an opportunity to turn left, I watched several cars on Third stop as if they did have a red blinker. This happened sometimes in only one lane, while someone else zoomed by in the other lane. Or traffic would stop heading east, but the cars heading west just drove on through. I just waited, knowing the drivers on Third had no obligation to stop. Then a car came up behind me and honked at me several times because I didn't go into the intersection. In fact, when I finally decided just to turn right and then circle back, I saw the car behind me just pull out in front of a car that was, rightfully, driving through heading west. I have often discussed with my husband the stupidity of having a traffic signal that requires the driver to be able to know what the OTHER traffic lane's signal is, rather than just seeing and obeying his OWN signal. The result is that the driver on the red side could, and often does, assume that the driver on the other road will stop. What other traffic sign/signal/light requires a driver to see what SOME OTHER DRIVER is supposed to do? I'll answer that -- none! But enough of my rant -- in this location, it is not really possible to tell what the other signal says. At least during daylight hours, if the signal isn't working, you should probably make it default to red blinking in both directions. Thanks, Jeannette Smedberg
