Description
Stevens Street light with Yield Sign on approach to Route 20 intersection. This traffic light is GREEN with accompanying YIELD ON LEFT signage. I have observed multiple occasions of NO adherence to the sign. This is in a difficult area to enforce. However, SAFETY should be the main concern. Can this light be changed/modified to a flashing yellow left turn arrow and keeping the signage in place?

The “YIELD ON LEFT” (which is the “Rule of the Road”) sign was placed at this intersection at the direction of the Traffic Commission as a result of a request similar to this.
The flashing yellow left turn arrow, the same situation that were incorporated into the new signals on Maple Street at South Street and at the Mill Street/Walker intersections, are the new standard required by the Federal Highway Administration – Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) for signalized intersection. Per MUTCD requirements, this change as well as other changes to traffic signal, pedestrian signal and crosswalk configuration are required if the intersection is upgraded in any way. A total upgrade of the signalized intersection is currently under design by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation.
