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.

Description
The light timing is incorrect for the pedestrian crosswalk across Westland Ave. the north facing traffic on mass Ave switches to a red light at the same moment that the pedestrian crossing for Westland Ave switch’s to walk. The intersection is so large that three or four cars can cross the crosswalk after the crosswalk switch’s to walk, which is quite dangerous. |
