Description

It seems every time I take this exit, there is nearly an accident; and often enough I see the aftermath of actual accidents here. There are two lanes in which one may take a left turn from the I-90W Exit onto Everett Rd Ext. There are no markings, however, indicating how these turns are to be taken. Consequently there is inevitably someone in the right-most left-turn lane who takes the turn by blatantly cutting into the left-most left turn lane. This is of course perfectly natural to occur based on the geometry of the intersection, which is why all such intersections are supposed to have clear markings throughout them indicating where exactly each lane is -- so that the drivers in the right lane don't accidentally cut into the space needed by those in the left lane. I am always in the left lane due to my route, and every time I take this I am almost hit by someone who does just that! Please put lane markings here. Thank you so much!
