LEFT TURN ON RED

LOCATIONS

WHEN MAKING THESE TURNS, PLEASE MAKE SURE:

I CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OF YOUR TICKETS!


BOSTON:

DOWNTOWN: THE FINANCIAL DISTRICT: BACK BAY and the SOUTH END:

Driving from the west into Kenmore Square, at the eastern end of the bus station is a one-way cross street. Left turns on red into this street, and again onto Commonwealth Avenue westbound would be permissible. Also, if you proceed further eastbound on Commonwealth Avenue, the cross-street that leads to the Storrow Drive on-ramp presents a similar opportunity. BRIGHTON:

From Sutherland Road onto Englewood Ave


Quincy:

West Quincy:

From Robertson Street onto Willard Street. (It's alongside the Expressway, past Home Depot.)


CAMBRIDGE:

Harvard Square:

From Memorial Drive in front of MIT. There are 4 new lights there - 2 each on westbound and the eastbound sides.

From Storrow Drive service road onto Western Av


CHICOPEE:


FALL RIVER:

Troy St @ Bedford St


HYANNIS:

Ocean Street (I believe) is a legal left turn to Main St. It is marked.


NEWTON:

From the Galen (Washington) St. bridge over the Pike onto the Pike entrance


BROCKTON:


SOMERVILLE:

Summer Street and Cutter Avenue, just east of Davis Square, the city of Somerville has actually erected a sign telling people that they can turn left on red.


WORCESTER:

Northbound Southbridge St at College Sq/I-290: left turn to reverse direction on Southbridge St or go west on I-290.



Please send locations of legal left turns in Massachusetts to ma@motorists.org. I will post them on this list. Don't forget to include the town!
