Description

This intersection is pretty bad, and the police do no enforce the no turn on red (on Mystic). The turn has it's own light which means that people have to wait until it's green, but a lot of people don't yield, and honk at people who do.

Furthermore, this is less than 1/2 a mile from the police station.

It shouldn't have a light at all. The intersection is not dangerous and only requires a yield sign for the traffic entering Mystic St. The Police ignore the light (like 95% of drivers) because it is unnecessary and creates unneeded traffic.

There's no "No Turn On Red" sign. It doesn't matter that the right-turn channel has its own light. If the town wants to ban rights on red, they need to post a sign.

This issue is 6 years old. I think there's been no action because the comments above were basically correct.
