Description
If the police dept is looking for some pocket change - they should set up shop near Keith School between the Law office and Firestone. Everyone seems to be going left on red at the light there. Had an outraged woman flipping out behind me honking because I refused to blow the light. Either that or change the signal because no one seems to be adhering to the no left on red light rule there.

It is perfectly legal to take a left turn on red from a one-way street onto another one-way street, per MGL Ch. 89, §8.
"At any intersection on ways, as defined in section one of chapter ninety, in which vehicular traffic is facing a steady red indication in a traffic control signal, the driver of a vehicle which is stopped as close as practicable at the entrance to the crosswalk or the near side of the intersections or, if none, then at the entrance to the intersection in obedience to such red or stop signal, may make either (1) a right turn or (2) if on a one-way street may make a left turn to another one-way street...."

And as DLM said, I would hope that the city doesn't post a "no turn on red" sign there.
