    There is a street sign missing for “stop sign ahead”. The new stop sign has been up for months yet still 10-20% of cars I see (I work from home and can hear and see them) going through this intersection fail to stop to even attempt to stop. They just fly right through. Southbound is almost understandable since the sign is behind a tree. North bound, the drivers must be staring at their phone and not aware that kids may be crossing the street and just go 30mph straight through. Is there any increased viability that could be done to remedy this? Perhaps one of those flashing stop signs, a stop ahead sign, street paint…? I fear only when someone dies trying to cross the street will Watertown think to do something about it. It was hard enough getting this sign in the first place and that was only after numerous serious crashes and requests.

    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 ,,

    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

    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.

    This section needs some weeding clean up, stepping into this is dangerous for people, especially elderly or young children, exiting vehicles. Thank you

    All shrubbery to the right of the Engine 4 bay (right side of building as you are facing it) and down the property line along the same side of the building are in need of pruning.

    Sidewalk next to handicap spot needs some weed trimming or removal. This is like a jungle for someone getting out of a vehicle and who has difficulty walking. Thank you for your help with this.
