  • 4-8 Coolidge Ave Watertown Town, Massachusetts, 02472 - Watertown
    The end of Coolidge Ave, at the traffic light intersection with Arsenal, requires lane markings to be painted. It's entirely unclear whether it's meant to be a single lane or two lanes. It's wider than a typical single lane, but narrower than a double lane. You can see in this photo that the white Tacoma pulled up out of nowhere after the Sonata and I were already queued up at the light. So he proceeded to angle himself in front of the Sonata. After this photo was taken, another car pulled up alongside my left, with their side view mirror just a few inches away from mine, as they tried to squeeze between me and the double yellow line. This situation happens every time I sit at this light. Please stripe this intersection with appropriate lane markings for whatever the intended configuration is. And if it's meant to be two lanes, please include signage and markings for whichever lane is intended to turn whichever way. Thank you.
  • N Beacon St & Irving St Watertown Town, MA, 02472, USA - Watertown
    Not a missing sign but many cars turning right on red onto Irving Street (heading towards Arsenal Street) ignoring (or not seeing?) the “No Turn on Red” sign that is on the right hand sidewalk. It makes an already difficult light even worse, specifically for cars on Irving Street traveling towards Arsenal Street who have the green light. Often times so many cars turn right on red there’s no room for cars with the green to travel straight.
  • Maplewood St & School St Watertown Town, MA, 02472, USA - Watertown
    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.
  • 89 Morse St Watertown MA 02472, United States - Watertown
    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 ,,

  • 76 Belmont St Watertown 02472, United States - Watertown
    The pedestrian signal on the Watertown side of the street has been blinking continuously for several days. It flashes all night (which is disruptive to my sleep) and when it flashes continuously, drivers stop slowing down and stopping for it, which is dangerous for the pedestrians who need it. Please fix it.
