Improper use of new traffic signal Open

20 W 14 Mile Rd Clawson, MI 48017, USA - Clawson

Drivers are not properly using the new traffic signal which allows left turners to go first. After green signal, left turners must stay behind line until traffic clears. If traffic doesn't clear, must wait until next light.

Agreed that drivers are not using it correctly......But please explain how drivers that have been driving for 5-10-30+ years are suppose to know how this "new" traffic signal works the first time they come across it. If you change the "norm" you create situations like this.

The left turn lane light should NOT flash yellow after it is green. It should be a solid RED to prevent this situation from occuring. The new lights have done more harm than good to this and other intersections in Clawson!

Needs No Turn on Red sign Open

20 W 14 Mile Rd Clawson, MI 48017, USA - Clawson

There are far too many close calls at 14 Mile and Main Intersection. When I'm in the left turn lane facing east to turn south on Main and once the light turns to a green arrow people facing west to go south think they have the right a way to turn right when I have a green light. Can a "No Turn on Red" sign please be installed to this intersection?

Your description doesn't make any sense. The problem as I see it is that the turn lane lights go to green arrow first then go to flashing yellow and then change to RED. Drivers enter the intersection thinking that they will be able to finish their turn, but often get stuck out there after the light changes. MOST other intersections have flashing yellow and then a GREEN arrow for protected turns. The city of Clawson changed all the traffic lights recently and not many drivers can comprehend the change!

I agree there is a problem that people don't seem to remember a yellow light means you should be prepared to stop no matter if it's flashing or not. But my complaint is that when the light finally turns green oncoming traffic has been turning right going south on main when the left turn lane has the green light

Traffic light needs to be re-timed Open

387-399 S Main St Clawson, MI 48017, USA - Clawson

Waiting to leave this neighborhood takes far too long, and you can't turn right on red until the light turns green (as directed by the traffic sign). The motion activator nor pushing the pedestrian cross request button do not seem to make this light cycle any shorter.

The light at this intersection(Charlevoix and Main) allows for approximately 2 minutes of N-S traffice but, only 15 seconds for people trying to get onto Main Street from neighborhoods on both sides of Main. With buildings right up to the sidewalks it is impossible, when coming to the light, to safely approach the light, pulll ahead slightly and stop to check for pedestrian traffic, and still make the light.
Could someone please look at extending the amount of time for entering onto Main from either Charlevoix or Walper.

Thank You
