Description

Please fix the synchronization between the Western/Green and Western/Mass Ave lights.

People have commented on here that it can’t be improved southbound because it would mess up the northbound flow. But in this photo, the timing is failing for both directions. The light at Mass Ave is green. But southbound traffic is backed up from the red light at Green St back past Mass Ave onto Prospect. And northbound traffic can’t make full use of the green at Mass Ave since it’s held at the red light at Green, so only the few cars that fit between the lights make it through each time.

This jam causes unavoidable delays for people on the 64, 70, 83, and 91 buses.

This is the worst possible timing. Please adjust the offset.
