I think you're thinking of some other potholes. These are not near a turn. They are next to the Stark factory, across from a parking lot next to the river as you go up the hill to lights at Needham Street. People actually go into the oncoming lane to avoid them, and that makes things even more dangerous. But I hear you about how some potholes work in a good way to slow things down.
