This is a very bad design by the MASS DOT who ever designed this Route 128 and Route 9 crossing. They try to avoid the merge in the standard way of exit ramp but you can't avoid the merge either way and this new way is even worst. This is no-brainer and the old way is the best.

Why do people have to merge twice to get on the high way and have to wait for the traffic light to get on the highway. It causes more traffic, more delay and more accidents. Very very bad design by the MassDOT.

I had exchanged well over 40 messages (email and phone conversations) with Mass DOT, Rep. Kay Kahn's office, and other various officials from 2017-2018. I even received word that the issues here were resolved, but they were not. I'm not sure this issue is addressable. I gave up. Maybe someone else will have more luck? I think they got tired of hearing from me.

Closed because the construction completed. There are new signs in this area, and amazing, there is a NEW merge sign that is placed after a merge is completed. No idea why DOT keeps making this mistake - nor why they won't correct it. It is dangerous and confusing.
