Description
The double yellow striping between the lanes of traffic on the Great Road at the intersection with Mountain Avenue is all but invisible at this point. Of particular concern is the striping north of Mountain Ave. because, after the protected green arrow goes away, cars turning left must wait for oncoming traffic. With no visible line cars have to guess where to wait and often sensibly opt to do so at the seam of the road. Looking on old versions of Google Maps, the yellow lines were actually not along the seam but allowed more space for turning cars so that traffic continuing through can pass them on the right. Cars waiting on the seam block the continuing traffic, a major issue at certain times of day in particular (school traffic, commuter traffic, insane amount of large construction truck traffic). The striping south of the Great Road intersection with Mountain Avenue is also faded, but of less consequence to the flow of traffic.
This is the second time I have written about this topic. It is a safety hazard and a traffic flow issue. Please address it.
