Description
Where Salem Street crosses the Fellsway, the road broadens out from one lane to two lanes (there aren't lane lines, but that's how people treat it). However, there's no signage designating whether people going straight should be in one lane or another. That often leads to frustration, as people jump between lanes based on whichever appears to be shorter. I've witnessed several close calls where someone gunned it at the last second to change lanes to avoid someone turning.
It seems like going either direction, a designated "left turn only" lane should be created, while the right lane would be for right turns and people going straight.

Just hoping for an update on this. I noticed several police officers pulling people over at this intersection during the morning commute a few weeks ago, so presumably they're aware that this is a trouble spot.

Any change or improvement at the mentioned intersection would likely involve coordination with DCR. DCR owns and maintains that signalized intersection. There may be pros/cons associated with any of the lane assignment options. Therefore, this issue would require further study to help assess any pros/cons.
Thanks again.
