Dangerous lack of signage

Wed, 07/15/2015 - 12:15pm

Dear Editor:

The town (Boothbay Harbor) must immediately install "Oncoming traffic may have extended green" signage facing southbound traffic at the intersection of Routes 27 and 96.

This so-called "yellow trap," in which left-turning traffic (on to Route 96) dangerously assumes that oncoming traffic also faces a yellow/red light, can lead to deadly accidents if it continues unsigned.
