Anyone here have any idea how long it will be before you can make a right run on red between Texas Avenue and South College? They put up signs this week at Polo Road, and it takes me 30 minutes to get on to University at 5:00! Really frustrating when there are no cars coming and you have to wait on pedestrians to cross.

I'm pretty sure that's a permanent thing? The signs at Bizzell and University sure don't look temporary

Traffic turning right on to University must wait for the pedestrians to cross. At 5, after they have passed, the light is only green for a few seconds. Only a very few cars can make it. If this is a permanent decision, the city of College Station needs to adjust the timing on these lights.

Permanent. Get use to it or find another way.

I think the whole point is to allow for pedestrian traffic. I think they are trying to divert traffic where possible.

The city cannot abide there being any East/West routes in town being utilized.

All traffic must go North/South and only on 2818, Wellborn, Texas and Hwy 6.

The biggest problem is they have 30 seconds of "pedestrian only" traffic and then they still give pedestrians the rite of way when auto traffic is flowing which causes you to have to be extremely aggressive turning right because what was stated above that window is very short.

They need to do one or the other. Either allow pedestrians to have 30 seconds to clear the intersection and then you stop all pedestrian traffic outside that window or you have them cross at red lights like your general intersection around town.

So who is in charge of maintaining the "weed median" on University in front of McDonald's? It's looking a little "unsightly".
They should have done something similar to the medians on Texas Avenue with crape myrtles or something.

How do you like looking at all the dead trees in the median?

Seems to me we could have cared-for medians without either dead trees or overgrown weeds.

Guess they'll use our property taxes to purchase all new trees for the spring again... Nothing like wasting other people's money.
