Description
Outbound on High (MA 60) from W.Med.Sq. toward Arlington, there is a faded & hard to read sign at the crosswalk (see photo uploaded) lots of small text that looks like clutter and drivers may not "get" it in time.
Could we get, instead a big, clear, simple day glo sign?
Is this a School Zone? Maybe a School Crossing (MUTCD S1-1 Two Kids with Books) is appropriate here. Certainly a "regular" W11-2 (Pedestrian on Diamond). And an arrow pointing at the crosswalk?
Driving Inbound (from Arlington) at this crosswalk, there's no sign at all, and coming out of St Ray's usually has the feel of "stepping into traffic from between cars" even though the crosswalk is painted. On the St Ray's side a pole is probably hard (would mess up funeral loading or the pear trees), but could a sign go on the left (Citzens Bank) side?
