Deskripsyon

The green light on Dexter Street is 5 seconds long, which is not long enough for bicyclists to get through this large intersection. The short green light combined with extremely long red light plus having to compete with oncoming traffic from the CVS parking lot means Dexter Street gets backed up past Bow Street during rush hour, as only a couple of cars can get through the intersection per light cycle. It also sets up a game of chicken between Dexter St and the CVS parking lot traffic, with people not yielding to oncoming traffic when making left turns... very dangerous. Needs either "left turns yield to oncoming traffic" signs or change so Dexter and CVS parking don't compete for the same green light, plus a longer green light.

2 "No Turn on Red" signs on Broadway (one for each direction) would be a good idea, too. I've seen cars turning from Broadway onto Medford by going across Dexter.

Additionally, the signal detection from Dexter Street is not calibrated for bikes. So if no car is there, the signal will skip Dexter and bikes cannot legally cross the intersection.

I don't see why it is necessary to close old posts.

I don't see why old reports are being closed, either, vs. having them triaged.

I agree that the light cycle is much too short -- even in an automobile!

The reason we closed out the old issues was that the City had no way of tracking them until launch. Your issue has been assigned.

This intersection should be a rotary!

Did this get addressed? It is a tricky location.

This is clearly still the same and has not been addressed (3-5 second green light), it's way too short for cyclists. I've seen maybe 2 cars get through and then it's back to red for quite a while.

I 100% agree with JJ's assessment. I've been commuting this way on my bike for 12 years. It's never been resolved. We need a bike light for this extremely dangerous intersection.

I will add that in a car, I start on a green, and the light is turning yellow while still in my view. I am not even a 1/4 of the way through.

Hi all,

The Magoun Sq. Traffic Signal is owned and operated by the City of Somerville, including the timing of the Medford approaches. Medford had asked for an increase in time for Dexter and were denied.

This may not satisfy your question but at lest you have some more info/background about it.

Thanks.
Sincerely,
Todd Blake
