Description
Now that we have a working traffic signal at Ellery and Broadway, what’s missing is a sign at the top of it for the traffic heading westbound on Broadway stating “Do Not Block Intersection”. Is there a fine for doing so in Cambridge? This happens often during peak periods and causes a delay for cars on Ellery and a danger for pedestrians.

Unfortunately, it happens at every peak hour and the horns start blowing. I even witnessed a pedestrian almost get stuck when a car was trying to maneuver around a car blocking the intersection.
At an intersection such as this one where there are a lot of pedestrians, drivers need to be reminded and warned not to block, thus, a sign is needed. I cannot see sharing a concern with the police department helping very much unless they assign an officer at every peak time. A simple sign a this type of intersection should definitely be a constant reminder and deterrent. Thanks.
