In Boston cars are required to yield to pedestrians on turns, and many intersections have signs to remind them of this. That said, it's always a good idea to look and see what cars are actually doing, regardless of what laws and signals say.

Pedestrians (ANY traffic, NO MATTER the direction OR lane) that follow the road you are turning from have priority over you making a turn, always.

Boston also has more "pedestrian scramble" all-way walk lights, a configuration less common in the rest of the US.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the scramble. There are a few near me, on mid-sized roads.

I have to cross a fairly wide, busy road to get to work. I wish it had a scramble with no-turn-on-red signage. That would make my commute massively safer.
