Reply to comment by DunkinRadio in Why is the I-90 Newton/ Watertown exit always busy and backed up? by Esen14

There are too many cars…but only because it’s poorly designed. For the cost of some paint it could be improved. For some real money it could be fixed.

It should be two lanes with one a protected right onto Centre St. that doesn’t have to stop. Make Centre turn two lanes so people coming around Washington St can make it also. If you want to go into that parking lot from Washington you need to make the turn onto Centre. Or something. I don’t know. But we’ve tried nothing and that hasn’t worked.

I think that gets to the principal problem, but you's still get cross traffic of people coming off the ramp who want to continue straight, and people coming around the curve that want to take that right on to Centre street. The potential for a collision would still cause people to hesitate as the come off the exit, just like now.
