I love it that there are so many burned out lights in a row on the Expressway in Dorchester that the road is more reliant on that terrifyingly bright LED billboard in front of the IBEW Local 103 headquarters for visibility than the pairs of burnt out lamps posted every 100 feet on the median. It's like the electricians union is mocking MassDOT for cheaping out on the help.
Route 2 is another one where you wonder what's even the point of having the juice turned on when only 1 of every 20 streetlights works. My night vision works better with nothing at all turned on west of Lake St. and the town-controlled frontage road streetlights framing the road, and I secretly hope they just remove them outright between Route 60 and 4/225. 93 and the Pike absolutely do need them--in full working order--everywhere inside 128, but I honestly wouldn't be bothered if all if all the non- 495/290/84 exit lighting on the Pike got retired with the changeover to open-road tolling. Most of those have never worked right in my lifetime either, and the fixtures have been completely changed at least 3 times since the late-80's.
