- Description
- The pedestrian crossing sign turns to allow at the same time as the traffic light. There needs to be a delay in between to allow people to cross as the traffic moves as soon as the light turns. I’m aware of a fatality at this corner in Dec 2017. I’m surprised there has not been more. Also every intersection on Herald St is gridlocked by 3p. Is there a way to paint the intersections at Shawmut,Washington and Harrison the way the intersections on Kneeland are marked also with the signage to not block the intersections.This street has become increasingly dangerous with all the increased foot traffic with the addition of so many new properties. |

Case Noted. Thank you for your comments about your concerns regarding the use of concurrent walk sequencing at this location. Please be assured that the first priority of the Boston Transportation Department is working to provide safe streets for all users. Over half of BTD operated traffic signals utilize concurrent walk operation as it improves pedestrian compliance with walk signals. This type of walk signal operation is consistent with pedestrian signal operation throughout the country. We will evaluate this location to confirm that the operation is consistent with current BTD Engineering guidelines for use of this type of pedestrian signal sequence.
