- Description
- Constituent reported that the current design of the intersection is dangerous, esp during traffic hours. Const stated that the pedestrians get the okay to walk while the vehicles get the green light to turn. Const is requesting that this is reviewed. Const stated that possibly making it a 4 way intersection would so that all pedestrians can cross at once. |

Case Noted. As part of Boston 2030 some traffic signals are being changed from an exclusive pedestrian sequence (all walk) to a concurrent pedestrian sequence. This signal is designed in conformance with BTD Guidelines which specify a system of walk lights in conformance with federal safety standards and widely used throughout the country. Under this system it is possible to provide longer "Walk" times and shorter delays to vehicles and pedestrians. During the green light for vehicles "Walk" signals are on for pedestrians crossing parallel to the flow of traffic. Under this system turning traffic must yield to pedestrians.
