Descrição
At the soldiers field rd off-ramp onto N Harvard St/JFK st, the traffic light placements are misleading. Each day during rush hour cars unfamiliar with the intersection are stopping in the middle of the bridge. Other lanes of traffic with a green light are circling around them, driving on the wrong side of the road and it is most dangerous for the frequent foot-traffic and blindspots coming from the other on/off ramps. If the light is intended to stop traffic in the middle of the bridge, then the timing of the other street lights are wrong because inevitably there are always cars sitting on the middle of the bridge while other rows of traffic are stuck trying to navigate around them. Please move the lights or re-time things to work properly. There is a large accident waiting to happen here.

Specifically the stream of traffic coming across the overpass (of Soldiers Field - east bound- Rd) from Cambridge, toward Brighton tend to stop in the middle of the overpass intersection when the light is red. There is no stop line anywhere ON the overpass and when cars do stop, the space can only hold up to 2 cars. So when other lights turn green and people need to drive through the intersection those cars are oddly placed in the middle in the way of everyone. I believe they are supposed to stop before the intersection - but because the light is placed on the opposite far corner (on the corner of N Harvard St and the On-Ramp for Soldiers Field Rd East bound) it gives the illusion that traffic can stop further up closer to the light.
This traffic error occurs probably once every 3 light cycles (especially during rush hour times).
