Description
In the evening this light cycles for no reason, stopping traffic on Winchester when there is no cross traffic. The only light that turns green is the one facing Michael Dr, which is the street that never has any traffic. I watched it one night for about 15 minutes, and it was cycling every 1 or 2 minutes, for 10-15 seconds, for no apparent reason, there was never any traffic from Riverton Rd. or Michael Dr. Also, when it cycles it seems the yellow is too short, you have to slam on your brakes to not run the red. There has been at least one rear-end collision ON THE BRIDGE due to this.

Here's the link for county Public Works. I'm thinking this may have to reported manually.

This is the reply I got from Mr. Richard Grace, county engineer, on 9/29/15:
"That intersection has cameras ,not loops, to detect side street traffic. It is programmed to change lights only when side street traffic is present. We have had a number of comments regarding the timing at this intersection. We have adjusted controls and cleaned the lenses in the past 30 days to get better results. All of those controls and lights will be replaced with the new road. We expect those changes to be within the next 6 months but the contractor will decide that exact date , not us. We will again have cameras, but should be of a better quality than what we have now."
