Description
The signal for cars coming from Bliley onto Forest Hill does not hold long enough especially in the morning. Cars coming from Bliley onto Forest Hill proceed into the intersection slowly because of the rough transition created by the rain gutter. Only a few cars make it through the light causing a backup on Bliley. The left turn signal for Bliley from Forest Hill holds too long in the morning. There isn't an a lot of traffic making a left from that direction in the morning.

- Staff · February 26, 2025Dear Citizen, Thank you for reaching out and for bringing this to our attention. We reviewed the signal timing at Bliley Road & Forest Hill Avenue and made adjustments to improve traffic flow. The changes will allow more vehicles from Bliley to clear the intersection, reduce backups, and better align the left turn signal with actual demand in the morning. These improvements should help smooth traffic movement while maintaining overall intersection efficiency. We appreciate your feedback in helping us improve traffic conditions. I am now closing this service request, but please feel free to reach out if you have any further concerns.
