When approaching Fountain Street from the I-93N spoke of the Salem Street Circle, Fountain's street signs are very misleading. At this sharp right-hand turn, there is a one-way sign and a Do Not Enter sign, but no sign for Fountain. The signs make it look like Fountain is a one-way street. Unless you are "in the know," you won't know that this is an entrance to Fountain Street, and Fountain is two-way. When taking this turn, drivers behind us will often almost slam into us, as it isn't clear to them that this is a place we might actually turn (legally). Please, add a sign about the option to take this sharp turn. It will make it easier for friends and delivery people to navigate, and it will make it less likely that we'll get rear-ended when turning. Thank you!

Thank you for reporting your concern to the City of Medford via SeeClickFix. We have reviewed the information you provided and will be investigating this issue further.
We had received complaints and contacted the utility company that had performed work (trench). The trench had eliminated the double yellow center line on Fountain. They have since repainted that double yellow.
We had also reached out to MassDOT, they control the ramp. The City controls Fountain St. We will reach out to MassDOT again to request a yield or stop (on the ramp).
Thanks again for following up.
