Description
At the exit from the HOV lane onto Rt. 30 in Vernon, the light has been changed from a trip light to an automatic red light. In 25 trips I have only seen 2 cars exit, but everytime I get off the highway at Exit 64 and turn onto Rt. 30 south, that light is red. This is very frustrating. It would be better to have no light at all, as most cars turn right anyway!

Hello Marilyn,
Thanks for this report. I'm not sure who is responsible for the light. Have you reported this directly to the town yet? Perhaps they can help.
Use the link below and fill in the fields, and they've been great about responding to everything that's been posted here. Let me know if you don't hear back from anyone. Good luck!

Oh it's Vernon, all right.
Vernon has recently added a citizen request system to its Web site as well. Here's the link:
http://www.vernon-ct.gov/resident_care_request.html
I would chose "traffic" as the request type, or "ASK FOR SERVICE REQUEST" and fill in the rest of the fields.
This one is newly installed so if you have a problem, or even if you have success, please let me know.
I know it's probably a DOT thing, but in many cases the town can manage traffic signals as well. However, it's usually best to start at the bottom and work your way up.

OK, have you tried this link?

It's a place to report specific problems to the DOT. If you don't hear back, I would suggest also trying the town. Police departments generally can manually adjust a traffic light if there is a safety problem or if they need to adjust for a special traffic event.
