    Concord Turnpike Arlington, Massachusetts - North Cambridge

    When you drive on highway 2 east-bound it branches out just as you arrive to highway 3. The left branch which ultimate turns left in route 3 north-bound has two lanes. The traffic on one of those two lanes often blocks the entire highway 2 so the cars that want to turn right to enter route 3 south-bound are stuck there.

    Please reduce the left-turn branch from two lanes to a single lane. There is absolutely no good reason why there should be two lanes there because the left branch starts with a single lane, then becomes two lanes then become one lane again after the traffic light.

    By converting the left branch into a single not only the right branch will no longer get blocked, but the left branch will also move more smoothly and becomes less dangerous since there would be less lane changes.

    John St. & French St. Lowell, MA - Lowell

    There are two lanes north bound in John st. The left lane is dedicated as left-turn only, and the right lane is dedicated as either right-turn or go-straight. The problem is that the few cars that need to go straight to enter the Boott Mills Apartment (like myself) block the cars behind from turning right on the red light.

    This causes traffic congestion because the red light toward Boott Mill Apartment takes a long time to turn green. Also there is a city parking garage in that intersection and the cars that are trying to leave the garage are often stuck inside the garage until that traffic clears.

    I propose to mark the right lane as right-turn only, and mark the left lane with both left-turn and straight-forward arrows.
