City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style. Arlington is now in the midst of the yuletide season.
That means pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists all sharing the streets. Arlington does have laws in place to help everyone get to their destination safely but because some people don’t know the law, or just refuse to follow them, potential dangers can arise. After all, Arlington has seen three pedestrian fatalities along Mass Ave in recent years.
APN’s Jeff Barnd talked to some pedestrians who say they walk the line. They just wish motorists would tap the brakes.
If you have any questions regarding driver, pedestrian and/or bicycle safety laws, you can call Arlington police at (781) 643-1212.
