Does anyone know why these lights aren't in use as controlled traffic lights? I've seen several accidents and it's hard to traverse as a driver, pedestrian, or bicyclist.

This has been open for well over a year. What can I do to encourage this change? I know it's a state-run road, but it's right near the police station and seems ridiculous to have a dangerous intersection right there.

Sounds like a police cruiser was recently hit at this intersection, just one of many accidents there. Any update on whether this can be made safer for pedestrians and cars alike?

I don't think the Town of Arlington monitors these, unfortunately. What I've done in the past was email the DPW directly. You could try contacting the individuals listed on this page: https://www.arlingtonma.gov/town-governance/all-boards-and-committees/transportation-advisory-committee

Not sure how this got moved into Arlington - moved it back into Medford.

This has been the same way for the past two years it's been reported here. No progress that I know about.

Still an issue - no response.

Still an issue even after the changes that have been made. This is especially true for pedestrians about to cross the bridge as Main St. traffic traveling in both directions are always wanting to turn onto 16 in the west-bound direction.

This is still an issue for pedestrians and bikes, as well as cars.

Shocked to see this has been an issue since 2016 (and likely long before). This is an incredibly dangerous intersection for pedestrians. I understand this is a highway ramp, but residents need to be able to walk to the square to access those businesses. Please revisit this and make it safe for pedestrians.
