At the on ramp from Summer street behind St Vincent's to get on 290 west is continually backed up to the rotary at Union Station. This is because all of the cars that are getting on 290 West from the East Central street onramp fly through the yield signs they have causing traffic on Summer street to back up in front of the hospital and all the way back to the rotary at Union Station and Shrewsbury St. I have almost been hit multiple times because the drivers on the East Central ramp that merges with the Summer St onramp disregard their yield signs! Every day from 4-6 that area is an accident waiting to happen! Please put a stationary policy vehicle over there or bigger flashing signs to warn the drivers on the East Central onramp they must YIELD to Summer St drivers. They have a ramp that is the size of a football field and can afford to be backed up where Summer St does not and blocks all traffic behind the hospital and all the way back to Union Station and Shrewsbury St. It is a hot mess!! Cars are literally getting inpatient waiting on Summer St so they get out of the onramp traffic drive thru the light and make an illegal turn in oncoming traffic to try and get on the ramp. Someone is going to get killed!

It is not defective per se. The traffic light timer needs to be adjusted for drivers on Granite St. I arrived at it red & sat while watching the traffic light at Winthrop St & Providence St cycle green twice. Even when no cars were approaching from either direction & I pulled forward onto the crosswalk markings, it still took a lot of time to change.

No enforcement of cars stopping at crosswalk on Chandler as kids try to get into Worcester World Cup at Foley Stadium

There should be a green left arrow in the late afternoon, particularly during rush time traffic for drivers turning onto Rte 12N (West Boylston St) from W. Mountain St. The green arrow works in the morning, and at times where traffic isn't heavy, making it less effective. There should also be a green left arrow for cars turning onto Rte 12S from E. Mountain St. These 2 lights should be coordinated. Trying to take a left either way at rush time traffic hours is both dangerous and unnecessarily difficult when a green arrow already exists on the lights themselves.

There are two trees on the corner of Leeds and Whitmarsh that really need to be trimmed. The overgrowth is spilling into the sidewalk.

These tree branches are sticking out into the road pretty bad. The cars that come around corners struggle to have any visibility.

Branches overflowing fence and through asphalt sidewalk

The branches grow into the street.

Driving East a Tree branch is blocking the visibility of traffic signal at intersection of Institute Road and Lancaster Street.

Road safety issue The trees and shrubs around the property at the intersection of Moreland St and Salisbury St are seriously overgrown and obstructing the views There is no visible sidewalk as a result of the overgrowth
