I don’t think the city or city police has anything to do with this man’s private lawsuit against the two workers. I’m think the sheriff’s department handled that.

Why don’t they just change Channel 4’s name to the “Nashville Enquirer?” It’s almost like they migrated an MTV program into their newscast.

There’s problems like that at various intersections throughout La Vergne; the issue is they had a blindfolded primate bury the detector loop in the pavement, instead of a trained person to do it.

The result is that the loop is short, oblong, buried too deep, too far back or too far ahead; or that the ground wasn’t packed properly and due to earth settlement and lack of maintenance the road has deteriorated around the loop and broken parts of it.

The short of it is, the lights aren’t setup properly - they should be designed to switch the crosslight once every few traffic signals to where the side street gets a green light regardless of the status of the detection loop.

Currently, if it doesn’t sense a car sitting there; it’ll never give you a light. If you sit too far back from the line, too far foward, or pretty much outside of the undefineable “sweet spot” you’re stuck there. The only other thing you can try is to move your car backwards or forwards (if you can) in order to get the signal to trip the next time around.

This is due to poor construction.

However, I did see signs that they reburied a new loop on parthenon parkway recently - not long after that the lights changed to some obsurdly short timing.

Don’t plan on them expanding Waldron Rd anytime soon.

I noticed that yesterday. What is normally a 15 minute drive at the most from my friend’s house to my house took 45 minutes. When I was waiting in the long, long line on the other side of the hill, I assumed there was an accident that was causing the backup. When I got on the other side of the hill, I realized that it was the light which was running exceptionally short on the Parthenon side. That was at 5 PM, which means traffic would take longer than usual, but it shouldn’t take THAT long!

Does anyone have any idea who we could contact about this to get this fixed?

Did anyone notice the cross-street light time change at Parthenon and Murfreesboro Rd?

The Parthenon/Waldron road light stays green for about five cars to get through the light, one or two more if the first car is really on his game and guns it when it goes green.

As a result, Murfreesboro road traffic is no longer backed up, but Waldron road traffic is backed up to the bridge and it takes nearly TEN MINUTES to get from the end of the line through the light.

As a result, other drivers and I have started taking Waldron Road (before it turns into Parthenon, right turn just past midas I believe) on down to the stones river intersection - it sheds nearly 6 minutes off my trip since I don’t have to wait at that freaking intersection.

There’s also a problem with the electromagnet sensors in the left hand turn lane at Waldron going east bound just past I-24 (turn lane leads to a road which has a fuel stop on the right and krystals on the left) - there’s no visual indicator as to where the proper place to stop, and the sensor area is small enough to where if you don’t stop in the right place and nobody is behind you, you could end up waiting indefinitely if you don’t move your vehicle.

Anyway, the bigger issue is getting the Parthenon/Murfreesboro light timing fixed. a 10 second from green to red light is absolutely insane.

Sorry for the thredjack.

You seem to think that having a crappy house is a freedom, right? Kind of like freedom of speech? Well, go into a movie theater and scream “Fire.” You see, your freedoms end where mine begin.

Your freedom to junk up your house ends where your crap affects my house. Sorry if you disagree.
