Each of the three lanes (straight, right-turn, and bike lane) has its own signal now. So, the right-turn light is always red when the bike lane has a green light to go straight.

Today's great idea: a 6-hour train ride to Philly to see Froggy play a Friday the 13th show.
On the 350 bus for maybe the first time since I got my driver's license. I spent a LOT of time on this bus when I was 15 to 16. It was the one link between my crappy hometown and the much funner/cooler/ more interesting places at the other end.

... but it kinda looks like you can't tell for sure about Auditorium. So theoretically the map could be from as late as March 2010 (when New England Medical Center became Tufts Medical Center)
If in fact it was not called "Auditorium", then the map must represent the state of the system somewhere between December 1988 (when JFK started being the branch point on the Red Line), and March 1990 (when Auditorium was renamed "Hynes Convention Center/ICA").
