Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone, Ward 3 Alderman Tom Taylor, Ward 7 Alderman Bob Trane and the Somerville Traffic and Parking Department (T&P) announced that the City has begun a traffic calming pilot program in those wards, using radar feedback signs to slow vehicle speeds on some major roadways.  Piloted in Wards 2 and 5 in April, the program may be invested in areas throughout the City, if successful during test periods.  Radar feedback signs have been installed on Summer Street in Ward 3 and Broadway in Ward 7, and registered speeds will be measured to determine the effectiveness of the signs in slowing vehicular traffic.  The program is being undertaken as part of the City’s ongoing efforts to increase pedestrian and bicycle safety, and to make Somerville more walkable, pedestrian- and bike-friendly community.
