Thanks for your report. We will be installing additional flashing yellow right turn arrows as a part of this project to further emphasize that drivers must yield on turns. We will not be adjusting the phasing for the bike movement / vehicular movement that you are referring to or changing the curb line at this time. This report will be forwarded to the Cambridge Police Department for traffic enforcement. If you'd like to follow up with them directly about this or similar issues, you can call their office at 617-349-4365 or send an email here www.cambridgema.gov/cpd/policeunits/operationsdivision/trafficenforcementunit

Traffic enforcement would be helpful! Many left turns when none allowed, regular running red lights to get through the intersection...

I'm skeptical that additional signals will help here. This is a step backwards in vulnerable road user safety for Inman Square and I'm disappointed that this was closed as WONT FIX without further discussion.

I'm surprised the city's Cycling Safety Ordinance even allows for this sort of cross-cut conflict.

Also, it appears the link provided is broken. I tried calling CPD this morning immediately after being hit and it didn't seem that anyone really cared. I got transferred to "speak with an officer" but hung up after the line rang about 15 times.

That's odd, let me contact CPD about the website issue. You may also call 617-349-3300 (CPD non-emergency line) to speak with someone about the incident and/or request traffic enforcement but I have sent this directly to CPD enforcement as well.

We will evaluate the intersection for further safety improvements. I do think the additional flashing arrow (that will be installed far-side as we have flashing yellows near-side already) will be helpful for this issue.
Tell us how we're doing by completing a short survey at www.surveymonkey.com/r/CambServiceRequests

I don't think any number of flashing right arrows will get the message across to drivers that they have to yield to cyclists on their right.

The best solution is for cyclists not to be on the right of right-turning cars, but a sidepath makes that impossible.

If bikes have to be on the right, in the blind spot of cars turning right, there should at least be a sign saying to yield to bikes, rather than a nonspecific flashing yellow arrow.
