There is a 4-way intersection, and all four ways have "No Turn on Red" signs. This leads to a lot of unnecessary waiting and people behind in the rightmost lanes getting angry. Many times, people take the right on red anyway, since the lights are taking far too long, and no traffic is coming. Solution?
At the same intersection, going westbound on Washington (toward Quincy Center), it almost looks like there is a third lane to turn right (in front of Bagnelli Auto Parts) when it's actually a break-down lane. Drivers do not understand this and use this lane as a right turn lane. This causes near-accidents all the time! Drivers in the ACTUAL right lane go to turn right, and someone is there, to their right, that should not be.
Solution? How about painting it more clearly marked, with diagonal stripes? That would make it clearer to drivers that there is no lane there.

Hi folks,
This intersection was made a 'No Turn on Red' by the City Council. At present, the intersection is still under control of the State as they performed the construction along it.
Our traffic department has been working with the State to improve timing and traffic flow in the area, but we still do not have full jurisdiction over it. Once we do, and we expect that to happen within the next 6-8 weeks, we can consider pushing the lane line over and providing a boni-fide right-turn lane that could run in overlap fashion with both McGrath left-turn lanes.
Stay tuned...
Chris
