U-turns are permitted at these intersections. It is important to allow U-turns at some points along a divided road, so that drivers can access homes and businesses on the other side of the road.

Several of these signs had no U-Turn on them but were knocked down in accidents and never replaced. Brookford Street is only one of them.

OK

Thank you for reporting your concern to City of Cambridge via Commonwealth Connect. We have reviewed the information you provided our staff and will be investigating this issue further.

Our records indicate that since at least 2007, there were never No U-Turn signs at Brookford St. We are evaluating the posted U-Turn restrictions on North Mass Ave to make sure that all posted signs are consistent with our published Traffic Regulations, and will replace any missing signs. However, there are locations on North Mass Ave where U-Turns are intentionally permitted. If you feel that a particular location presents specific safety concerns, we would be happy to discuss them with you further.

I've been living here since 1984 and there was a couple of no U-turn signs there but they kept getting taken out by cars and trucks. If you look on the median strip you can see where they were placed. Lately, 16 wheelers and other trucks/cars have been making U-turns on a regular basis. It's very difficult to drive out of Brookford Street onto Massachusetts Ave already. This is due to traffic blocking on both sides (east and west) and the U-turns are making it even more difficult.

If something can be done to prevent traffic blocking the end of the Brookford Street so we can turn onto either side of Mass. Ave. (as has been done on the other streets toward Alwife) this would help the residents on our street immensely.
