Rather than installing a traffic light that we have been asking for, you stopped left turns from a Emerson Street where I live onto Main Street. This is not a viable solution, put a traffic light up under route 16! I live there and need to make a left turn every day!

The first traffic light heading south from Commercial St. Malden to Riverside Dr. Medford always actiates the left turn arrow when it changes and no traffic is in that lane request a left turn. That should only activate when a vehicle needs to turn left. Causes longer delays for the trafic in the northbound direction and only adds to drivers frustation and trying to make two lanes of trafiic where it should be one. In addition the time interval is way to long. Please address this ASAP its been like this since roadwork was done several tears ago.
My response from Mass DOT :
It appears this location is under local jurisdiction. I do not see that MASS DOT controls traffic lights in this area.

Could the MPD or DPW please be sure to close off the turns from Winthrop St to Woodside, Whitney and Whittier Rd for the road race on September 27? Thank you and good luck to the runners.

The traffic light at intersection of riverside Ave and rt 28 is too short for the cars travelling on riverside Ave. The crosswalk signal lasts longer than the green light! There are many cars going east on riverside, plus cars are trying to get out of the Stop and Shop parking lot. This is unsustainable. I hope whoever planned this light setting gets stuck there sometime waiting for 4 light cycles to get through it.

Better signage needed at Burget and Greenleaf Multiple drivers daily not stopping at the stop sign, multiple drivers driving down Burget in the wrong direction and multiple people speeding Please put up better signage and put a traffic enforcer here you'll be giving lots of tickets Pedestrians etc at constant risk g

The crosswalk signal at the intersection of Harvard Street and Boston Ave on the corner with the Tufts building is currently non-functional. Even if you hit the button the signal does not activate, and I have had to wait through multiple cycles of the traffic lights before someone on one of the other corners was able to trigger the signal, or give up and jaywalk through the intersection.

Intersection of Main Street and George Street continues to be very unsafe for pedestrians to cross, especially late at night. There are now three bus routes and three bus stops at this intersection and detoured traffic making it very unsafe. Something needs to be done to make it safer for pedestrians. The flashing red and orange lights are useless and only assist cars, not pedestrians.

Note - Officer Brooks just closed a similar issue without any response or follow-up.

The crosswalk at the intersection of Main St. and Hancock Ave is completely faded, making drivers unaware they are supposed to stop for pedestrians here.

No lines visible. It's a one lane road but people driving side by side and passing on Rivers edge dr
