The light to turn left onto Dr. Kiran C. Patel BLVD (Nova Southeastern University) takes roughly 8-10 minutes to change from red to green. Traffic flow from both lanes continues to move through several light cycles before left lane turns green. Holds up traffic in turning lane, and can create possibility of an automobile accident if someone in turning lane decides to turn left before the light turns green.

The traffic signal at 137th St. And Walsingham Rd has become miserably out of sync with lights to the west and east of this intersection. For quite some time, residents North and South of Walsingham Rd have been trapped in their neighborhood trying to get into Walsingham at all times of the day as both signal west and east cycle through multiple light. HOWEVER, I have recently witnessed that eastbound traffic on Walsingham is being given a Yellow flashing left turn, which changes to a Red arrow, trapping drivers in the intersection because westbound Walsingham has a green. This afternoon, an elderly woman put her car into reverse to try to get out of the intersection and nearly backed into me. THEN, 60 seconds later the Red arrow changed back to a blinking yellow arrow, which is very dangerous. A yellow arrow while Walsingham westbound has a green is asking for accidents. NOTE, during this whole action above with the arrows, 136th nor Oakhurst moved.

The light at Lave Ave. SE feels slightly off with the light at 101st St. SE/Sunrise Dr. Also possibly slightly off from Starkey Rd light. The "Platoon"/group of cars released from 101st or from Ulmerton are forced to stop at Lake Ave SE red light. For the East bound side, it is backing traffic all the way past Madison and Washington Ave creating a dangerous situation for motorists coming out from/into Madison as well as U-turns as the left lane is the first to back up then center then right leaving you inches away sometimes from someone doing 30+mph and cannot see around vehicles. The light at Lake Ave SE seems perfectly fine in operation just seems about maybe a few secs off to allow some of that group of cars to go through to the traffic backed up is not as lengthy even at non-rush hour times or earlier to allow the Lake Ave SE traffic to get across before they get there. On the West bound side, it seems basically the same way as the East bound side where if you need to be the 1st or second car at Starkey Rd heading West and have to speed just to make that light which many people do speed. The other possible correction may also be to reverse the order of operations of the light sequence at Lake Ave SE. Currently if you were heading West from Starkey Rd, you would see the light change to Red and stop, the Lake Ave SE traffic goes, then when the light changes to green for West bound side (cannot remember if East bound traffic does as well) the East bound side is half way from 101st to Lake Ave. If you turn left on Madison, or U-turn for gas stations, etc., then you will wait for that traffic to slowly come to the stop at the red light behind you (possibly west bound turn lane?), then backs up so you cant get across or are let across 1-2 lanes out of 3 and wait in the middle of the road, then once you finally do the 1-4 people behind you try to also quickly get across more than likely ignoring pedestrians. If the East bound was still green because their left turn is going now at the end instead of the beginning of their green light, it might help enough to let a few more vehicles through to allow safe crossings for everyone since it will be behind the Platoon or Pack of cars. Then Lake Ave has the same amount for their traffic as well as pedestrians at that light just instead of changing at 3:04pm and 30 secs it changes at 3:04pm and 15 secs or 45secs or something like that. *Side note - since it doesn't have to deal with safety is that the East bound traffic backing up so far back makes it difficult for vehicles pulling out of the side streets, gas stations/businesses, as well as the big construction? trucks that come from 95th St N. I've seen them wait something like 1-4 mins waiting on traffic then the back end of traffic from everyone pulling out from the side streets, then can finally go. Overall Ulmerton never gets back up West bound from 101st to impede much neither does East bound from Starky Rd.(have not witnessed morning rush traffic however). I understand there are several different priorities involved in Traffic Signal timing and the complexity of numerous varibles at each intersection, so just wanted to see if someone could just take a look to see if anything could be done.

Not even close to clearing out waiting traffic at signal !!

Turning left into McMullen booth heading east on state road 60 the light is always red and no one can turn

I travel East on Lakeview Mon.-Sat. between 3-5AM., and the light at Lakeview and Highland is on a timer, instead of being triggered by cars.
From my experiences over the past 25 years, Lakeview has more traffic, so it should be the dominant light.
But instead, the light is forever green for Highland.
Then about every 30 seconds it will turn green for Lakeview, for approximately 2 SECONDS...!

As a bonus, the light at Keene and Nursery is also on a timer, which it shouldn't be.
Keene has far more traffic than Nursery, but the light changes regardless, and stays red forever.

There need to be a change at jhonston blv and seminole and park blv and seminole something needs to be done at these two lights I have had to wait 10 min for the southbound traffic to clear Johnston blv because the light at park blv and seminole backs up and block the intersection please fix this light

The green signal heading north on Carillon Parkway/Egret BLVD across Ulmerton changes on the weekend but it is way too short. On weekends it’s only green for seven seconds. Many times I’ve been at this signal on a weekend and only 2-3 cars can make it across before it changes. I understand it’s shorter due to the Raymond James traffic not there on weekends but it needs to be lengthened due to the number of people living in Carillon now plus the Top Golf that went in. It’s not unusual to wait for the Ulmerton signal to cycle through twice before people can get across (and that’s a long signal).

The traffic light at the Walmart intersection needs to be better coincided with the Tarpon Ave and Hwy 19 intersection light. If you get a red light at Walmart, when ti turns green, the Hwy 19 light turns red again. If you drive like a maniac and try to beat the red light at Walmart, you can catch the green light at Hwy 19, FYI.

Hello - I request that you please inspect this light on Belcher Rd (in between Gulf-to-Bay and Druid). It's the light that allows for the flow of traffic from the Walmart and Publix onto Belcher. This light gets stuck for more than one cycle and does not allow traffic to flow out of the Walmart lot on to Belcher. The last time this occurred Wed. 11/8 around 6 p.m.

Something has happened with the timing of the southbound light at 580 & Belcher. On Friday afternoon 2/1 at 3pm, traffic was backed up through San Christopher St Southbound obstructing the turns to side streets, the shopping center and the Dunedin post office. I have never seen the backup this long waiting for the light to change on Main Street (580). Did the light timing change?
