Description
As many people have already noted to the city, this is NOT the spot for a rotary. It is far too small an intersection for one and whomever designed this thing apparently does not actually drive. The turning angles are a mess, causing unsafe conditions....and guess what, big buses can't make the turn! Just saw an MBTA bus stuck in the rotary! Had to do a bunch of K-turn hitches and was still stuck. Had to drive over the curbs. Are you serious, Salem City Planner?? Can't wait for October traffic. Great way to make traffic even WORSE in Salem.

They had plenty of input for two years about how bad it was and plenty of opportunity to correct it by leveling the rotary and putting in a 4-way stop but they decided to ignore the recommendations and pleas of residents and non-resident drivers alike and force this rotary onto Salem.
Voice your discontent with the mayor this week and next at the ballot box.
