Fixed!

Thank you

This intersection was studied for signalization at the end of 2009. Unfortunately, this intersection met no volume warrants and had a very low crash history. In these cases we do not recommend a traffic signal to City Council.

It's not becoming a very busy corner it IS already one.

Truck traffic, buses, cars and people. I hate to say this but I don't think a light will go up there unless there is a dead body there.

This is fixed!

I've referred this to our Public Works Department. I will update this issue when I have heard back from them. Thanks for reporting.

This has been fixed.

This light detection system is still not working properly for me. I have tried positioning the bike in various positions in the spot without success. Does this light use the inductive-loop traffic detection system? I don't see the typical cut marks in the pavement, but perhaps that is because the road was recently resurfaced. If so, perhaps adding some painted marks on the road surface to show the location of the loop (or loops) would help bicyclists and motorcyclists position themselves for better detection.

I have not seen a valid argument where magnets will have any affect on this type of inductive loop system, and aluminum rims should easily be detected by a properly sized and adjusted system. I do live near this intersection and would be more than happy to bring my motorcycle over when the technicians are there, to assist in testing.

I'll refer this back to Public Works to see if a test might be necessary. I will let you know.

Our traffic signal technician has verified that the loops are all working correctly and has adjusted the loop sensitivity which should help indicate when a motorcycle is waiting to be serviced. The detection loops are located in the center of the lane in most cases up to the stop bar. We will monitor this for any other adjustments and correct them as needed.

The right turn lane on eastbound Millbrook Road is a taper, which has two existing right arrow markings. The city will install a “Right Lane Must Turn Right” sign in advance of the intersection.

Our traffic signal technician has checked this location out and found it to be functioning properly. This could be an intermittent type of issue so we will continue to monitor this location and make any needed changes. We will also look at current traffic volumes to verify that the correct amount of time is being used for all phases.

Our traffic signal technician changed the detection device from medium/high to high. This should pick up most motorcycles, but not scooters.

Our traffic signal technician monitored this location and checked the detection equipment and controller and reported that everything appeared to be working efficiently at that time. We will continue to monitor for any false calls and make adjustments as needed.

Thanks for noticing this situation. We will tighten the signal span wire or raise it tomorrow so the required vertical clearance is met.

Current traffic counts indicate there is a slightly higher volume of traffic on St. Albans / Camelot than Dartmouth Road. The current timings are fairly balanced between both streets, however, some adjustments will be made and monitored for improvements.
