  • 352 School Street Watertown, MA, 02472, USA - Watertown
    The “new stop sign ahead” sign is completely blocked by a different sign and also appears to be at its minimum brightness. I live at the intersection and I constantly see people just drive through the stop sign not even attempting to stop. This happens in both directions but I’ve almost been hit twice from the southbound direction. I have reported this to the police but nothing has changed. Hoping DPW can do something to make it more obvious there’s a new stop sign where kids live and they should STOP at the intersection.

    Northbound green light partiallyoNutortherner
  • Church St & Summer St Watertown Town, MA, 02472, USA - Watertown
    It's been several days of construction with Summer St closed. Yet, the signal light is still operating. IT NEEDS TO BE SET TO FLASHING RED. There's no reason for traffic to wait at this intersection during construction with the road closed.
  • Main St Watertown MA 02472, United States - Watertown
    The lights at Galen Street and Mount Auburn going east for both the left turn onto main & the straightahead to Mt. Auburn lanes are all green at the same time This is the third time I’ve been through this intersection with the light all green at the same time and all 3×2 cars have gone from the left turn lane going straight to Mount Auburn leaving three vehicles going in the same direction onto Mount Auburn Street
    could someone please evaluate whether the way these lights are set is safe? It does not appear to be so
  • 140 Arsenal St Watertown, Massachusetts, 02472 - Watertown
    The walk signal at the light between Elan and the Gables does not activate. You press the button and it tells you to wait, so it is acknowledging the push, but the walk signal never activates. I tried this crossing the access driveway both ways and it never turned to walk.
  • 69 Summer Street Watertown, Massachusetts, 02472 - Watertown
    Constituent reported that the button to get a walk signal at Church and Summer is not working, at least on the southeast side of the intersection (near 69 Summer St).
  • Arlington St & Mount Auburn St Watertown Town, MA, 02472, USA - Watertown
    There may be something newly wrong about this traffic control light. On two, or three occasion now traveling north on Grove approaching Mt. Auburn it seems like the green light to get across Mt. Auburn skips an entire cycle.
  • 1–27 Aldrich Rd Watertown MA 02472, United States - Watertown
    Crossing Technology Way, going up (South) on Galen past new Tech building, when pedestrians cross there (often buses are waiting) the pedestrian signal Went from 15 sec directly to wait directly to green light for buses and trucks to waiting to take left up Galen St. Not good for unlucky pedestrian ...
