A new MassDOT traffic light installed at the intersection of Needham and Charlemont Streets in Newton, Massachusetts has sparked mixed reactions among drivers.

"I have noticed that light has been up for a while since I moved to the area," said Caroline Slager, a local driver. "But I have never noticed it on before."

According to some drivers, the light that was intended to ease congestion, is doing the opposite. "It's an absolute nightmare," one man told WBZ. "Anytime you have to come up and down this road to visit clients, or cold calls, or even just do shopping, you'll sit here forever waiting to get out," he said.

Long delays at light, drivers say

Some say the light creates backups and long delays, even when there's no visible traffic.
