Beschreibung
Combination of the following problems:
1. Traffic light timing favors N/S Rt 27 traffic; cars crossing or turning on to Rt 27 have a much shorter green light.
2. Traffic congestion results in increasing backups on Bacon Street during peak bus/rush hour (beginning at 7:20am).
3. Way too many Bacon Street drivers are in the bad habit of turning on to Park Ave, then cutting on to N Pleasant, then barging on to Rt 27. They feel entitled to speed through the neighborhood with disregard, then give puppydog eyes to Northbound 27 travelers so they can bypass the traffic light mentioned in point #1 (see above). Only a matter of time before it leads to a road rage incident.
In addition to fixing the traffic signal to make it fair to travelers in all directions, an officer should be placed in key locations of that cut-through. I feel really bad for residents of Park Ave and N Pleasant who have legitimate reasons to travel those roads. Sometimes they have trouble getting out of their driveways because they're blocked out by short-cutters.

In late afternoon you can't tell what light is lit.

Response from MassDot:
Brian,
We will check the sun issue on Bacon Street. The lights are all on timing until complete which will always favor the high traffic volume on Rte. 27. I also want to let you know that at Bacon Street, the southbound traffic receives a few seconds green before the northbound to accommodate the traffic turning left onto Bacon Street which is by design in the event you get a complaint. Vehicle traffic signals patterns will be different than before due to the construction and the motorists will have to eventually adjust.
Thank you, Julio
