Danvers High St, 128, Purchase St Intersection: Got Complaints?

DANVERS, MA — You know that series of intersection on High Street and Purchase Street and 128? Have you ever been confused about the left turn lane when headed from the Port toward Danvers Square?

Well, apparently you're not alone.

Danvers Police have gotten so many questions about that they've taken to social media to answer.

"There is no signage that prohibits a motor vehicle in the left lane from continuing past the Route 128 southbound ramp and turning left at Purchase Street. Vehicles in the left lane cannot go straight through the Purchase Street intersection continuing onto High Street," the department posted.

But lest that infuriates you, the police added that if you have a complaint or think there should be different signage or a different design to the intersection they don't make the law, they just enforce it.

"Specific complaints relating to the signage or design of this intersection should be directed to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, who is responsible for the design, signage and lane configuration," they said.
