Pedestrian Safety in Arlington, MA
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:
- More RRFBs in Arlington, especially on high-traffic back streets (What is an RRFB?)
- More stop signs in Arlington
- Better police enforcement of traffic laws, such as speeding, illegal turns, and swerving.
Please sign our petition to reform pedestrian safety in Arlington!
- A concerned group of 8th Graders at Ottoson Middle School
