Description

Large trucks ignore the truck restriction signs where Cardinal Madeiros meets Cambridge St in the north and Hampshire in the south. Trucks cut through the residential neighborhood in between often at high speed, endangering the many children in the area. The trucks also cause noise and particulate air pollution.

Trucks are allowed to make local deliveries along Cardinal Madeiros but they aren’t supposed to be cutting through the neighborhood to save time. Better signage and stricter traffic enforcement could help truck drivers realize that it’s not appropriate to be cutting through this neighborhood.
