Description
There are STILL no painted arrows on the asphalt indicating the lane split up ahead (Left lane for going straight across Mass Ave and Right lane for turning right onto Mass Ave).
There is a longer stretch, prior to the point at which I took the photo, but this is where I stopped. Cars still approach the intersection from both lanes and try to crowd over into the Left lane to go straight across Mass Ave.
How hard is it (these days) to paint some arrows on the pavement, and maybe even put up some (clearly-visible) signs? I get tired of missing the light because people (many who actually know the deal) try to move up front in the Right lane and then go straight across Mass Ave.

Thank you.
Yes, I agree - drivers merging to the left ARE trying to cut the line - that's the point of my post. It's also why I wonder why there aren't earlier indicators for the split lanes ahead - it may serve as an additional deterrent of shame!
Just a thought...

Hi Ms Richards,
Last night I was able to convert the 4 faded "ONLY" markings into arrows, which is our new standard anyway. This puts the first set of arrows about 40ft in advance of where they were before.

Thank you for letting me know!
I'll have to check that out next time I'm driving through Central Square :-)
