The light used to be smart enough to sense no car in the left hand turn lane, but now, you have to wait for minutes while no trafic moves on the left turn arrow. Maybe someone at this station can contact their buddies with the street department who then can contact the Indiana State highway department. I figure someone owns stock in British Petroleum and are deliberately slowing traffic to waste gas....but that's just me. The light actually has been set improperly well before the light pole was damaged. I don't know what caused the change but it's been like that for about a month now. I'm surprised someone in our local government hasn't brought it to the attention of the State. PT6266, I have noticed the same thing.

Usually when I get back to town around 4:25 or so, heading south on Michigan, there are times traffic is backed up clear past Monroe. It seems like ever since they paved Michigan St. the lights have not worked like they had been. Particularly when heading north or south, you have to sit and wait for the left hand green to cycle thru even when there are no cars waiting to turn left. Maybe this will be addressed once the light pole is up and lights are operational again?
