Ridge and Route 3 (Mystic)

Lafayette st, east arlington they fly down my street its unsafe for kids to be out playing

Gray Street

The Whole town is a speedway .. Good luck walking anywhere in Arlington in the morning or late afternoon , you put your life in your hands ..

Mass Ave esp between Lake and the Linwood

Mass ave near Greek church

Coming off Park Avenue, heading down Appleton St. to the corner where Appleton and Paul Revere merge is dangerous. There should be lights or a stop sign to slow the traffic.

Where are the police?....the side streets in Arlington are speedways, especially those streets that are shortcuts to Route 2....a big threat to safety are the T drivers, many of whom A) don't obey the speed limit B) can't seem to read, or C) don't seem to care about the law or safety.

Gray Street, especially coming down Gray from Churchill to the Jason St. intersection. Posted 20mph speed, totally ignored. Brakes screeching constantly, many don't even bother to slow down. Also, going up the Gray from the Jason St intersection, most gun it and are airborne by the time they hit the hill. Far too many accidents at Jason and Bartlett Ave.

Funny you should ask. I had a lady w/kids in a green Subaru get on my back bumpah, hit her horn and try to pass me in the Dahlin school zone the other day. She eventually passed me on Gray St around the Quincy St area. All I saw was the back of her car flash by. Couldn't even get her plate # she was in that kind of a hurry! Next time if I see that menace I'm calling her in!

Gray St. It's shocking how fast people go sometimes.

Pleasant Street --- better known by its inhabitants as "The Wild, Wild West" --- only time traffic slows to posted limits or below here is between 4-6 pm. Traffic speeds enforced in Arlington? Nope. Construction sites heavily monitored and covered by police. You bet.

The new length of "race track" on forest street from part ave ext to winchester... there is quite a few sports cars doing >50mph on a daily basis. Now that there is a speed indicator up in both directions I can see exactly how fast they are going when I walk the dog.... before I could only guess how much over the speed limit they were going.

Marathon Street! They speed up as they head towards the end of the street. My dog was hit and killed a few years back. I fear for our children!!!

Gray street. Jason Street. highland Ave, which has also become THE noisy diesel truck route between Rt 2 and Mass Ave.

Any wide street is fair game.

Oakland Avenue between Gray and Appleton...even worse if it is snowing!
A former resident

I bet the Subaru also had an Obama sticker and Marzilli sticker too ...

Campbell Rd off of Dow and or Wollaston. Wish there was a speed bump.

Highland Ave comes to mind

River Street in East Arlington is a raceway, vehicles coming from Medford and Somerville using this as a cut thru and also the side "College" streets to bypass the lights at Warren and Broadway. the APD can only do so much
Hire more police? bring back more crossing guards and give them the capacity of writing tickets?

From email:

"Although there is a 20mph sign, it is totally ignored, coming down Gray Street from Churchill to Jason. Most barely able to stop at lights. Also most gun it going through the lights at Jason St. intersection heading up Gray. Breaks are constantly screeching to make the 4 way stop, many don't bother...just slightly pause and continue through."

From Facebook:

"Washington St."

"Mystic valley parkway, they come out of the route 60 rotary like its a slingshot!"

Franklin Street. People come off Medford Street to avoid the light at Warren Street and speed!

Billy Bigagoner and Drew must be living in Somerville because there is NO speeding on Highland Ave..... I've lived there since 1941 and I can guaranty that if you want to go back when Dodges and Chevy's only came in black and then the 56s in black and red and forward through Vietnam Era and all the drivers are careful and polite and not only STOP at stop signs, they sometimes turn their heads left to right 50 11 times. As a Highland AveTOWNIE I just gotta say they are mistaken.

I like to drive at the speed limit (posted at 20 mph) on Jason Street and irritate the speeders behind me who think they have a shortcut to Route 2. Oh, and I come to a full and complete stop (3 second rule!) at the 4-way intersection.

Seriously, I don't know that I've actually ever seen enforcement of the speed limits. In these days of budget shortfalls, perhaps the police could pay for themselves by pulling over lawbreakers.

Appleton St from Park Ave down to Paul Revere Rd they fly down this street! It is especially dangerous since there are always cars parked on both sides of the street from the nursing home.

now that the kids are back to school i suggest the police should be patrolling the lockeland ave area. they speed down from gray street till they come to the stop sign if we're lucky they will stop. then they speed right through. it is so dangerous also going the other way we need to have police come around when least expected
