 The main purpose of the southbound routing was to help traffic move through the congested Queen Anne's Corner intersection and take a more efficient path to northbound Route 3.After a widening project to improve this intersection was completed in the summer of 2007, however, the signs indicating this routing disappeared.Signs on South 228 and the rest of the intersection now indicate Route 228 South proceeds straight through the intersection from Main Street onto Pond Street and on to Route 3 at Exit 14 (guide signs on Route 53 North at Derby Street were eventually changed as well in 2014 with text 'Derby Street' replacing the MA 228 shields on each sign, though guide signage on Derby Street and North and South 228 shield reassurance markers remain).
