  • Forest Ave Portland, ME, 04103, USA - Portland
    On Forest Avenue, just west of Woodford's Corner, there are now two lanes going west (post Woodford's Corner renovations last year). Previously this section of Forest Ave had a median lane for turning left or right. That lane was removed and now two lanes go west. However, the two lanes quickly reduce to one, and there is no sign indicating to motorists that they need to move into the right lane. At the point where the left lane ends, there is a crosswalk, and it is also a place where many turn left onto Watson Street. I live at the corner of Clinton & Forest, and everyday see many cars speeding out of the Woodfords Corner intersection in those two lanes, then slamming on the brakes and honking where the road becomes one lane with a crosswalk and turning vehicles. I urge you to put up a sign indicating an upcoming lane reduction.
