Episode Details

Cambridge is testing a bold new traffic calming tactic on Locust and Willis streets—installing a crosswalk and stop sign smack in the middle of the road—to force drivers to slow down, especially in residential zones. Funded by the federal Safe Streets for All grant, this move aims to boost safety and connectivity for all, including better sidewalks. Residents like Ben Cullen, who’s lived there eight years and endured a car crash into his home last year, are thrilled. Commissioner Brian Roche calls it a win for locals, even if it inconveniences passing drivers. Neighbors report feeling safer already—Sarah Hahn says she’s less anxious now, with drivers actually stopping to let pedestrians cross safely.
