Description

Traffic turning right from Galileo Galilei Way Northbound onto Broadway Eastbound cannot see the Right Turn Signal as it is frequently obstructed by construction traffic. For a while it was the arm of an excavator, tonight it was a tractor trailer cab. I complained to a police officer stationed there and while he seemed sympathetic, he said he couldn't do anything and all I can do is file a SeeClickFix ticket....so here I am (seriously though, how many of these tickets have been filed for this same issue over the past week or two?).

Please move the signal to a more obvious location that will not be obstructed by construction traffic. Please post a police officer to direct right turning vehicles until the signal has been safely moved.

This is the *exact* opposite of what a Vision Zero city should allow.
