There is nothing wrong with the traffic signals at School and North Streets. We are changing to concurrent traffic signals where people walk in the same direction as the traffic is moving. This method is used in other Cities in Mass. and is approved by Mass. DOT. We have posted signs that all vehicles turning shall yield to pedestrians. We also have a lead time for pedestrians to start walking before vehicles start moving. City Electrician, John Giardi

.....the city put up HUGE signs that, in every corner, say “turning traffic MUST yield to pedestrians”... they did this A MONTH ago.

It helps the flow of traffic to not have both directions crossing the intersection stop for 30 seconds every 4 minutes. I live right at the intersection... every thing seems be just fine now. Traffic flow is vastly improved. Crossing an intersection isn’t that difficult. Just look out.

The issue is closed, City Electrician, John Giardi
