The new light at the Boylston/Lynn intersection makes no sense whatsoever. I turn at this intersection, like many others, to access I-5. I have, in my month of living here, used this intersection over a hundred times. At no point have I ever witnessed any traffic problem from any direction; including rush hour! All that changed when this afternoon the new stop light turned on. When I approached this intersection at 4pm on 6/3 the traffic was backed up to the I-5south onramp when coming north on boylston, to the I-5 offramp and roanoake street when going south, and all the way down to eastlake ave when coming from there. This light clearly creates traffic problems rather than solving them. And in this case causes a problem where one did not exist in the first place.
