Pedestrian Safety in Arlington, MA

Recent signers:
russell sargent and 19 others have signed recently.

The Issue

In Arlington, Massachusetts, a pedestrian being killed in a car accident is a yearly occurrence. While we have much lower death rates than some other areas in the United States, we can still improve.

 

We want:

  1. More RRFBs in Arlington, especially on high-traffic back streets (What is an RRFB?)
  2. More stop signs in Arlington
  3. Better police enforcement of traffic laws, such as speeding, illegal turns, and swerving.

Please sign our petition to reform pedestrian safety in Arlington!
