I almost got slammed there once), it's just as big a pain for drivers.  The signage is horrible, there are no lane markers, and the entrance to Storrow Eastbound is a mess, especially from over the Longfellow.  This is one of those intersections that is never going to be fun for anyone.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I don't have a car anymore; you're right that Boston is a great walking city, but at the end of the day, everyone is at fault.  Drivers in Boston become Massholes because of jaywalkers.  Pedestrians almost never wait for the "walk" signal.  I haven't been to Charles Circle in a while, so don't know the status of the signals, but I think everyone, both in and out of the vehicle, needs to express a little patience.  Just listen to Guns n Roses.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21557433/5673688282856150818/comments/default/7177843227305890667'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21557433/5673688282856150818/comments/default/7177843227305890667'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mbtarants.blogspot.com/2008/05/fighting-for-my-life-as-pedestrian.html?showComment=1211217780000#c7177843227305890667' title=''/><author><name>Nicklebones</name><uri>http://www.tbob.net/blog</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://mbtarants.blogspot.com/2008/05/fighting-for-my-life-as-pedestrian.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21557433.post-5673688282856150818' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21557433/posts/default/5673688282856150818' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21557433.post-5933296156509784454</id><published>2008-05-19T03:07:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-19T03:07:00.000-04:00</updated><title type='text'>wow. i'm from the west coast, not as bad as your p...</title><content type='html'>wow. i'm from the west coast, not as bad as your problems, but still problems. nice ran!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21557433/5673688282856150818/comments/default/5933296156509784454'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21557433/5673688282856150818/comments/default/5933296156509784454'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mbtarants.blogspot.com/2008/05/fighting-for-my-life-as-pedestrian.html?showComment=1211180820000#c5933296156509784454' title=''/><author><name>gcw</name><uri>http://mmafight.ca</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://mbtarants.blogspot.com/2008/05/fighting-for-my-life-as-pedestrian.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21557433.post-5673688282856150818' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21557433/posts/default/5673688282856150818' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
