Description
At 8:15 pm on Feb 10, 2024 (dark and raining) I was driving on Pleasant Street in Malden, when my lane directed me right into this median. This resulted in two unrepairable tires and a bent tierod. In such bad weather, and even in broad daylight the next day (when I took this picture), this median is extremely difficult to observe. This is DANGEROUS for any driver, not to mention if they are a motorcyclist. Google maps indicates that in the past there have been cones, a sign, a tree, or anything to indicate that this median is present. Unfortunately for me and two other drivers I witnessed hit this median the night of my accident, there was no indication of this obstruction in the middle of the road. I feel the city should compensate the damages done to my vehicle, because this is clearly a very hazardous road condition.
