Recent road work on Washington Ave has created road blocks due to the new lane directions going towards the lights at Revere Beach Parkway. Cars trying to go straight or right have to sit in the right lane, however, traffic is now backed up to Washington Ave park and blocking any cars from entering or exiting Lash Street. Unfortunately there is no street sight to indicate that cars should not block this way and residents, are unable to enter or exit the street to go to work or return home, as it is a dead end. This happens every week day in the mornings and evenings when commuters are traveling to and from work, and it's making it impossible to break through traffic to leave the street.

Attached image show street blockage due to traffic at the lights, as well as, MBTA buses and other vehicles illegally driving in the left turn only lane to go straight and cut off that backed up right lane.

Something needs to be done here, whether it's a street sign (or multiple) or lines on the ground where a car should not be idling in traffic to wait for the light. Many days people try to back up or go up over curbs to get down the street and with the traffic, pedestrians, and parked cars, this has almost ended in multiple accidents at the corner.
