Description

Traffic turning right onto Main St from Mt. Auburn often does not yield to pedestrians (with walk signal) crossing Main St in front of McCue's Taxi. I have seen several close calls in recent months, particularly at night. This crosswalk is very busy due to its proximity to the Watertown Square and Yard bus stations.

This is already a difficult crosswalk for pedestrians due to left-turning traffic from Galen St blocking the intersection.

Perhaps adding a red arrow on Mt Auburn St when pedestrian light activated and increasing time for pedestrians to cross could help increase safety.
