Description
On Massachusetts avenue & shirley street no left turn signs were put up. A huge influx of people still turn left from Massachusetts avenue to Shirley street because it is more convenient than going left on magazine for a large amount of people. The light on magazine street is too fast only allowing 3 people at a time through and it backs up Massachusetts avenue traffic in the area as well as cops who park into the through lane at this left turn. Please install a left turn signal onto Shirley street to allow people to make the left turn for a designated amount of time when the light turns green. This would save money because as of right now there are transit cops who sit on this intersection getting paid to “patrol” while watching people make the illegal left turn onto Shirley and doing nothing anyway. Or please make the left turn signal onto magazine street longer and put physical blockers to prevent people from parking in the through lane because then traffic backs up because the left turn lane line is so long and people can’t get through.
