    Missing No Parking sign on Morse St at the corner of union st. People park AT the corner making it a blind stop sign in one direction and a blind hill going down Morse st. It's very dangerous cannot see in either direction when coming off union at stop sign.
    THE BASE OF POLE OF THE SIGN IS STICKING OUT OF THE SIDEWALK I fell on it last night AGAIN.
    REPLACE THE SIGN BEFORE THERE IS A SERIOUS COLLISION THERE. Thx ,,

  • Street Sign RepairAcknowledged
    Arlington St Watertown, Massachusetts, 02472 - Watertown
    This intersection is unsafe and causes several near miss accidents a day- the signs and what's painted on the ground do not align- the last painted arrow is not curved to the right (for right turn on arsenal/Home Depot) the left turn only sign is misleading as to whether is left on Coolidge or arsenal- the dotted yellow line painted would indicate arsenal- but if someone from the right lane takes a left (as the last arrow being painted straight looks like you can) it forces the left turn lane into oncoming traffic- It needs immediate redesign - suggest, hanging appropriate signage from the traffic light itself as opposed to the 100 foot back sign- Also the arrows painted on the ground need to indicate appropriate direction, they are mismatched- THIS IS A MAJOR SAFTY ISSUE AS I PERSONALLY HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES- and will be holding the Watertown accountable if I am- as I have now reported/documented it 3 times to no avail- Please address this as it is dangerous

    Waltham St & Bridge St Watertown, Massachusetts, 02472 - Watertown
    A constituent reported that the black box on the flashing beacon is positioned approximately 5 feet high and protrudes into the public way, posing a potential hazard for pedestrians who might walk into it. She would like to know if the box can be raised or if something can be added to make it more visible.
  • Maplewood St & School St Watertown Town, MA, 02472, USA - Watertown
    Glad there is a 4 way stop after horrible accident a few months ago, but I’ve seen multiple people blow through stop (not in picture), in part probably due to tree branches that block the stop sign from beinf seen from coming up School Street heading to Belmont.
  • 113–137 School St Watertown MA 02472, United States - Watertown
    The tall shrubs/plants along the curb (next to the sunflowers) on School Street here completely block visibility when turning left onto School St from Boylston Street. If they could be trimmed down it would a much safer turn onto a busy street.
