Thank You Carson. You are correct.
There are No Signs posted:
" No Right Turn on Red "
But, I would think There should be a form of Courtesy shown to drivers who
have the Green Left Turn Arrow. Are people in that much of a hurry 10 PM at
night ?
I was waiting to turn L onto Bridge Street from Severino' s Store Parking
Lot last week, and heard Sirens coming from somewhere, reverberating off
houses. A Van coming up Bridge Street had a green lght to go straight
across Cumberland or turn R onto Cumberland, when The Sirens appeared in
the form of a Westbrook Rescue Ambulance, coming up Cumberland from
Cumberland Mills, and wanting to turn L onto Bridge Street. It stopped
suddenly when its driver saw the Van that turned R onto Cumberland
fortunately - instead of going up Bridge Street which would have placed the
Van squarely in front of the Rescue. The Rescue went to a home on
Beechwood Avenue, off Bridge Street, before Everett Street.

It sounds like the 2 right turnerws are not following the right on red
rule.
Of course, being blind I don’t know if there is an allowed right on red
for West bound, soon to be right turners at Maine and Bridge.

*Subject:* [wsmac] Question about Turning at Intersection of Main Street
and new Bridge Street Lights.
This was a problem for umpteen years at the former Vallee' s Square
Intersection of Bridge and Main Streets.
Now, the same infraction is happening at the new Intersection of Main
Street and the new Bridge Street.
Example: I am stopped in the Eastbound Left Turn Lane of Main Street at
the Intersection with the new Bridge Street. I am waiting for the Green
Left Turn Arrow which comes on with the Eastbound straight thru Main Street
Green Light. Time is 10PM Thursday January 18th, 2018. My Left Turn
Signals are working.
When the Green Left Turn Lane Arrow comes on, I am looking at westbound
Main Street traffic stopped. As I start to turn L into Bridge Street, two
small red cars,
both in the Westbound Main Street Right Turn Lane for Bridge Street,
The same Lane I have a Left Turn Green Arrow for, pull out ahead of me and
turn Right onto Bridge Street. I am not in a hurry, but I have to stop in
mid turn, to let these two drivers have their way. Fortunately,
The pavement is dry, and it's not snowing like blazes. I am getting sick
of this. Who is supposed to yield or who have the right of way?
Thank You,
Dennis Marrotte
