I think we need to add a sign in the intersection between Pond street and high street

Since the DOT changed Washington Street to a two lane section from the fire station at Islington to Norwood line, the rate of speed has increased tremendously! The town needs to petition to change back to single lane and put an automated reminder to drivers their current speed of travel.

Drivers, especially high school students, speed on Baker Street and turn down Church Street to avoid the stop sign at the end of Nahantan Street. There are a number of children living on Baker Street under the age of 8 and this has become a very unsafe street. A stop sign or speed bump is needed at the corner of Baker and Church Street before more accidents occur.

Hartford Street is a big cut through for avoiding parts of 109. I would estimate that speeds are 10-20 miles an hour over the speed limit most of the time.

Pine St to Schaefer...people fly around that corner.

EAST STREET and BRIDGE AREA .. for 25+ years, there has been SO MUCH TALK about the serious injuries, accidents, property damage etc on East Street -- but, what has been done about it ? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING !!

I don't know how it fits into the Grand Scheme, but I've certainly seen traffic speed outrageously on the High Rock-Dover Road route, and sometimes coming down Dover Road from Powissett Street in Dover. This is not a representative sample, but the worst offenders seem to be commercial traffic, including trucks, sports cars, and sometimes, believe it or not, school busses returning from Hale Reservation.

The intersection of HIgh Street & Nahatan all the way to the light at Burgess & High. The road changes to a DO NOT PASSING ZONE but no one pays attention to it. It's a straightaway. There is an elderly housing project in this section as well as kids who walk to school with no sidewalks so they must cross the street. YIKES! Something needs to be done.

Mayfair to Wildwood then to Hartford in the morning to avoid 109 back ups.
They go just to fast for narrow side streets.

Pond Street in both directions. Even though there is a stop sign at Clapboard tree, cars pick up the speed once again.

Pine Lane. People coming from Gay St. towards Schaefer Ave fly around that corner on the wrong side of the street. I've almost been hit head on numerous times.

Clapboardtree between Winter and Nahatan can be a raceway. Walking on that road is dangerous enough, but cars speeding by make it really treacherous.

Fensview Drive. In the morning, not so bad, though there are a few who will race up the hill toward Oak Street. In the evening, another story -- many come around the S curve off Oak Street way too fast and race down hill. Another issue is side streets coming into Fensview, particularly Alder. Alder needs a stop sign at Fensview, as too many barely slow down (nevermind stop) before entering Fensview.

Fairview st! People use the street during morning and afternoon commuting hours as a cut through between Pine Lane and Washington st. to avoid traffic lights. People fly down the hill! It is a blind corner, and there are small kids on the street. I have called the police dept about this issue in the past. Something needs to be done about allowing Fairview St to be used as a cut through!

Pine Lane & Schaefer St. People speed down the street and then routinely blow right through the stop sign at School Street.

Church St., between 109 and Pond St.

This section of Church St. is a cut-thru for drivers who want to turn onto Pond St from 109 (since they currently are prohibited from doing so at the intersection of 109/Pond). Drivers turning onto Church St. hardly slow down from the 40+ MPH they're traveling on 109, and continue to zip up Church St. at high speeds. Drivers also dash across 109 from the Dunkin' Donuts parking lot and speed up this section of Church. Additionally, very few drivers actually obey the stop sign at the end of Church before turning onto Pond St.; most just roll right through the stop sign because they are turning right onto Pond and, while approaching the stop sign, have already determined that there are no cars coming from the left and they decide to disregard the stop altogether. This presents a real potential for car accidents, but also presents a very real danger to pedestrians.

Doesn't anyone notice the 55MPH speed that seems to have become the norm on High St.? Go 40MPH (10MPH over the posted limit) and you will be tailgated and even passed, as I have seen in the past. Have a regular speed trap, bring in revenue to the town, and set the precedent for the rest of the town.

Washington St between East st and Canton. Not only do people speed, but bc they are treating it like a race track they fly through the stop light near the Roche Bros parking lot, trying to beat the red. I hate walking that stretch of Washington with my young family and forget about feeling safe crossing the street.

Canton St. Its ahuge cut through and they fly and tailgate to get to 95 So from 128

Baker street cut through all the way from one end to the other. Not only high school kids but adults as well. We've emailed the town for 4 way stops at church, fisher, etc... To no avail. A child is going to be killed if nothing is done

I agree with Chris Hancock and Beth. Baker St and Church St are the worst. There Are more kids per square foot in this section of town than any other section of Westwood. The drivers who go fast don't really seem to care.

I agree with Chris and Paul. The intersection of Baker St. and Church St are the worst. You can still see marks from the last accident that was there. A four way stop is needed.

Speeding throughout the entire "Maze" is a problem. Drivers frequently speed down Baker, Bonney, Church, Fischer and French St's, not only in the morning when school is in session but consistently throughout the day. I agree with Chris and Paul that there are too many kids in the neighborhood and someone is going to get hurt.

I wonder what WPD think of all this feedback? Are they aware of these hotspots? Probably. I've seen traps by Pine St and the Washington/East area, but I've never seen one in the Maze neighborhood or along Pond Street. I'm sure there are resource contraints for WPD, but given the strong response on this topic I don't think there would be any objection from residents for increased ticketing for speeders.
