    Cambridge St Allston, MA, 02134, USA - Allston-Brighton
    There are two traffic signals on Cambridge Street located within a short distance. Can you adjust the timing of these two signals to be in sync for a longer period of time to allow for sufficient traffic flow? A majority of the traffic is coming off of the Pike into Cambridge. One light is often red while the other is green and cars are sitting there at the lights because there is nowhere to go unless both lights are obviously green at the same time. When both lights are green at the same time it is only for a few seconds. Adjusting the timing could seriously help with the traffic jams at this intersection. Thanks!

    Cars continue to turn up the street the wrong way to enter the gas station. There are a few Do Not Enter and One Way signs already posted but they are ignored. The cars going the wrong way pose a danger to pedestrians crossing along with the cars that are traveling the correct way.

    The signal for the u turn here is way too long, especially at night with no traffic. It should either be shortened or allow left turn on red if there's no oncoming traffic.

    269–285 Purchase St Boston, Massachusetts - Downtown
    Cars coming from the off ramp from I-93 to Purchase Street always run the red light only to stop on the crosswalks to stop at the second set of lights. This blocks pedestrian and handicap flow as it blocks the curb ramps and the cars speeding out of the off ramp is dangerous to pedestrians waiting to cross. There should be more enforcement during morning and evening rush hours.
  • 44 Rutherford Avenue Boston, Massachusetts - Charlestown
    We need to have more Signs hung and painted on the road to discourage drivers from blocking the intersection to & from the Tobin Bridge on Rutherford Ave. It would be nice to have police monitor this area during AM/PM Rush Hour, specially on Fridays.
    It is ridiculous the number of times that Traffic (from Bunker Hill Area towards North Washington) on Rutherford Ave blocks others trying to merge onto other streets.
    This needs immediate attention!

    206–298 Trenton St Boston MA 02128, United States - East Boston
    Where Trenton street ends and become East Eagle one of these cars or motor cycles is going to kill someone. These cars have illegal exhausts and set off car alarms. You would think it was a race track around here. I have gone to cross the street at time times and had to jump back in between cars to avoid getting hit/killed by one of these idiots. There needs to be a speed trap or something done. They come up slow on Glendon street, take a left to go down Trenton/East eagle and then floor it down the rest of East Eagle not stopping at the stop sign. Sometimes they take a left on to condor to go around again to try and set off more alarms or sometimes go towards Chelsea street. There are too many children, dogs and elderly on this street. These cars include older model white Acura integra, older model blue Honda Civic, older model blue Acura integra, newer model green Honda Accord.

    200 Brookline Ave Boston 02215, United States - Fenway-Kenmore
    People turn onto Brookline Ave despite the pedestrian crossing signal. Do they have a signal that conflicts with the pedestrian crossing?

    The signage here for cyclists is a little ambiguous. The sign directs cyclists to use the car lane instead of the bike path. Not sure why, as the bike path seems perfectly usable. If it's not, it should be coned off or something. Is it because there hasn't been a signal added near where the bike lane on Essex crosses with Dummer Street?

    If I disobey the sign and choose to ride in the bike lane, then there's nothing telling me to stop, or traffic on Dummer St., to look out for me. If I obey the sign and merge with the cars on Essex, however, I get honked at and nearly hit every time. Please make the bike lane safe and usable by adding a stop sign at the intersection with Dummer St. I know to stop, of course, but let's give cyclists the same redundant safety design that we do for cars, especially if we want them to obey the same rules as cars. Cyclists shouldn't have to "assume" they should stop or "assume" cars don't see them. They should be able to simply follow the signs like other road users. Thank you.

    (This is an old Google Maps photo before the construction, but it shows the location).
