How about public safety? Will they get green lights also? Do they already? Boston has 550 signalized intersections. I wonder how much control the Traffic Management Center (TMC) has over them? That could be great for public safety. If something big happens in a neighborhood - you could give everyone approaching the neighborhood a red light. That would keep them out of danger, and reduce congestion in the neighborhood. Public safety units might have to travel on the wrong side of some streets - but I am sure they already do that alot already. Major downtown streets - Congress St - 2 lanes each direction - undivided Cambridge St - 2 lanes each direction - divided Tremont St - multi lanes - one way outbound in downtown Washington St - 2 lanes - one way inbound downtown Beacon St - mostly one way outbound - multi lanes Boylston St - 3 lanes - one way inbound Commonwealth Ave - 2 lanes in each direction - divided by a park in the Back Bay Columbus Ave - mostly 2 way Mass Ave - 2 lanes in each direction - undivided -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
