So I submitted your request a while ago, but there is none of signage on the counter flow turn onto Scott St. The response was that it was signage that, but as I pointed out the request the cars coming from scott and Beacon in both directions have no awareness.
The one sign you have only tells cyclist that they can go down Scott Street there is no awareness for cars, especially cars coming out of Scott and turning left onto Beacon who have no idea that place you’re coming straight across to the counter flow which looks like a parking line at best
You’re setting up collision points that don’t have to be there, add better sign
I got honked at by an suv coming out to Scott st tonight and had I not yielded to him turning left when I had the right away he would’ve hit me
sidoo kale waydiiyey...

So I submitted a SCF request a while ago, that there was no signage telling cars about the counter flow bike only turn onto Scott St. The response was that there was signage , but as I pointed out the request the cars coming from Scott and Beacon in both directions have no awareness.
The one sign you have (picture) only tells cyclist that they can go down Scott Street there is no awareness for cars, especially cars coming out of Scott and turning left onto Beacon who have no idea that place you’re coming straight across to the counter flow which looks like a parking line at best.

Suggested locales for signs to tell cars that bikes will be turning the wrong way down a one way legally
On Scott “bikes entering, yield when turning left”
On Beacon South next to the “One Way” “Except Bikes”
Same on North

While Scott Street is in Cambridge, this intersection is in Somerville. We will share this with Somerville Transportation staff, however we recommend you also consider making a 311 request.
Thank you for your report.
