A roundabout could be coming to this Worcester intersection

Safety concerns are on the agenda for the Tuesday City Council meeting.

Safety concerns with the intersection of Flagg and Salisbury streets are prompting local officials to consider improvements that could include the construction of a roundabout.

The intersection has several safety concerns that include "limited sight distance and the speed of traffic on Salisbury Street," according to a memo from City Manager Eric D. Batista, which causes delays for drivers trying to turn from Flagg Street during peak times.

Rotary on that intersection makes some sense. It's also a nightmarish intersection to get across as a pedestrian.

Too much volume for stop signs and I think neighbors would go crazy with traffic idling all day with traffic lights and honking to go on green.
 
Do Brittan Square (Burncoat branching off Lincoln Streets) next. There are a ton of these weird intersections in the city
 
Where Franklin St branches off to Wall st could also use some work
 
Really scary as that's the primary garage for the Hanover Theatre. I bet that's not the only garage in the city with those issues - parked in the old Outlets garage across from St. Vincent's for a DCU Center event, and that stairwell was s-k-e-t-c-h-y.
