Essex Landing | 1565 Broadway | Saugus

With all this new housing along RT1 and traffic already being really bad they should have designed a new lane separated BRT line with 2 branches to the south. 1 connecting to the Blue Line and the other to the Orange Line at Malden Center.

I've always been irked by the way RT1 has been designed not just here but all the way down the coast. Most of the route is driven on like it's an Interstate with speed limits over 75mph. Yet mixed in between on and off ramps are just normal street exits/entrances to shopping plaza's parking. All the retail and now new housing should be built on new streets at least that have proper on and off ramps from RT1. Lessening the number of exits and entrances would greatly help with the flow of traffic.
