I have no interest in making Sudbury's roads friendlier for walkers, runners or cyclists.
The cost of expanding/widening roads may be too much $ (for a bike lane), but we need to update/improve our sidewalks for pedestrians in the very least. The rail trail will be nice, but we also need to link all areas ("spoke wheel") of Sudbury to change our auto dependency.
Build rail trail and get bikers off the road
I am against anything that adds more cyclists to the roads. They impede traffic for miles and never yield to traffic. They also ignore all traffic laws.
Generally, our main roads are narrow and should be widened in areas to allow for bike lanes. Also, all main roads through town should have sidewalks.
No. Our roads were made for MOTOR VEHICLES.
Adding speed humps on side roads to slow down traffic on cut through roads. With the advent of Waze all back roads are main roads anymore. They are unsafe. Also on back roads/cut through roads people don't stop at the stop signs even in school areas so something to make people stop would be great!
Designated biking roads for cyclists.
Sudbury is friendly enough for walkers and runners. Cyclists are annoying, and should stay off of the road during traffic hours. They create more traffic.
I know it’s tricky since our roads are narrow and winding - and this is part of the charm of Sudbury, but residents and visitors still run and bike along these public roads and it is very dangerous. There are more heavily trafficked ways that are worth widening or making safer with sidewalks.
Sidewalks. Better education for drivers, wider roads (Sudbury-sized SUVs hardly fit on Sudbury roads, dedicated bike lanes on major roads
Pelham Island Road is beautiful, but very dangerous to walk or bike; would be good to have a safe lane or sidewalk there.
Bikers like Sudbury b/c it's bucolic - but narrow, twisting roads are dangerous. Don't want to widen these roads for bike lane b/c it would change the bucolic nature of our town! Sidewalks are critical for kids riding bikes to friends and schools.
Move utility poles further back from the edge of some very narrow windy roads - there is literally no shoulder available in many places, and with poor sightlines, it is treacherous to walk.
We definitely need more sidewalks. It’s not safe to be in the small but high speed roads in this town.
Same as previous answer. The rail trail would be a huge improvement. In general, bike lanes along the more traveled roads would be good as well.
Just please keep in mind that the vast majority of people will always use cars, so please don't make traffic worse by making space for bike lanes. Where it makes sense and won't negatively impact traffic flow, great. But, please don't make things worse for cars - the roads are clogged enough as it is. And no - more bike lanes won't reduce traffic congestion.
I live in the Newbridge/Clark/Plympton/Water Row neighborhood. It's a beautiful area but very difficult to walk/run/bike because there are no sidewalks, the streets are narrow, the road is twisting, and cars fly down the road (especially around blind turns). However, there is a lot of vegetation/trees that would make it hard to widen the road and/or add sidewalks. However, I think it should definitely be explored! My kids walk to school along the road and a sidewalk would make things so much safer. We also walk our dog along the road and we jog along the road. Sidewalks would make such a difference and drastically increase the safety of the roads for pedestrians, dogs, children, cyclists, etc. etc.
There is not enough room on our roads for bicyclists and cars to operate safely...… It frightens me sometimes.
Some roads are narrow and with traffic feel unsafe. esp with cars sometimes speeding To the extent we can have a sidewalk or even space on the side of the roads it will help
Connecting sidewalks, add lights to crosswalks (Union/concord crosswalk? Old Lancaster/hudson- add crosswalk), add crosswalks, ticket drivers going through crosswalks. Widen roads to add bike lanes.
We are an avid walk/run/bike family but live on a busy, winding road with no side walk. It’s actually made us consider moving. I would love to see Sudbury attempt to make our roads safer for people and bike.
Communication about how to share the roads with bicycles. Many drivers do not know how to safely do so. Also, cell phone usage should be prohibited while driving (unless handsfree kit is used) and enforced.
North Sudbury might as well be another town... All of the $ is spent from the center of town, south. 117 is a freeway. Curbing, traffic lights and crosswalks are in desperate need. Highly traveled cut through streets in North Sudbury are needed. Technically families shouldn't be charged for busing to schools (Curtis) because the roads are not safe to be walked on (no sidewalks) or biked on. See state bus guidelines.
Narrow roadways and relatively long distances seem to present a real challenge here. More sidewalks in residential areas would certainly make it easier/safer/more pleasant to walk, but we lack a central town area or town green or attractive destination for walkers that is not along noisy/busy roadways. Distances from most homes are not likely to promote walking for significant shopping or errands at existing establishments. Large expenditure to add a few sidewalks to isolated neighborhoods doesn't seem a good use of limited public funds. Improved walking paths in public lands with easy parking might be a better expenditure for those walking for recreation/exercise purposes. I would prefer to see the bulk of available funds going to improvement of traffic flow, which has become very slow and difficult at several intersections, and to road and bridge maintenance and improvement that are needed in many places.
I usually walk in Curtis Middle School to avoid getting on the road, because people have planted trees or shrubs that block sidewalks, especially roads like Peakham. Poison Ivy often creeps into sidewalks. Some sidewalks have dangerous dips and cracks making them unsafe.
Clear the vegetation! People always talk about plowing, but what about cutting back the growth that makes the walkways impassable, and that whips the passing cyclist to shreds? Improve the road and sidewalk pavement quality generally! Roots, muck and puddles in the walkways send walkers into the road; crumbling edges, cracks and potholes are a hazard for cyclists. Pedestrian crossings should have pedestrian-activated signals. Pantry Road at Route 117, this means you. We should all share the road--meaning cars and trucks give cyclists and pedestrians a wide berth, but also that cyclists and pedestrians pull aside to allow backed-up traffic to pass. Reflective clothing and lights after dark would be helpful as well.
I want my kid to be able to bike places, but we keep her close to home because we're afraid to have her cross Hudson or ride along Dutton. / The cross-walk at Hudson Road near Haskell is barely visible until you're too close. / Turning onto and off of Dutton is extremely difficult and often requires peeling out and/or waiting in long lines of traffic. / The bus stops in our neighborhood (Pine Lakes) are on the street pavement (no sidewalk or curb) and we often have cars driving quickly by us.
Flashing signals at crosswalks on major roads to alert traffic to stop and allow pedestrians to cross
Traffic light or walking signal at intersection of North Road/Mossman/Powder Mill Rd. Traffic light in front of LS (yield sign is very dangerous and will force folks traveling on Concord Road to slow down)
Wider roads where possible. Designated roads that can accommodate bikes and cars where as many as feasible can provide access to popular places to go - Shopping, fields, etc.
Better sidewalks. I'm an avid runner but stay on the road because the sidewalks are a mess (potholes, frost heaves). Some busier roads don't have sidewalks and are narrow (parts of Dutton). We could use more signage and safety strategies around Curtis given the number of kids that ride their bikes and walk to school.
I am shocked when I see the deplorable state of our roads and sidewalks compared to other towns around us. This town looks like a dump
More policing of speed and crosswalk safety. The use of our roads for cut through traffic is causing safety issues as people are speeding and not stopping for children or pedestrians. Also people text and drive so they drive over the center line. The past five years or so this has become very apparent.
I would like to see more done in then winter to make sure dude road sidewalks are cleared so fewer people walk their dogs or strollers on the street
Better lighting, wider roads, complete sidewalks that don't end halfway along a street, mend damaged sidewalks and roads, create dedicated cycle/pedestrian paths
More signage to raise awareness about cyclists being on roads. Especially on smaller, more narrow and twisty roads with minimal shoulder space (example: Dutton Road). Not an issue for main roads such as Route 27.
Our roads are not friendly for drivers either. Drivers routinely drive in the middle of the road, speeding is normal, and driving through the red light in the center of town is common. Beware!
Keep traffic to the main roadways. Restrict cut-throughs on the side roads. Enforce speed limits.
Landham Road/route 20 SHOULD be a top priority! Town has talked about this problem for 10 years & one death has occurred ... Rt 20 needs a light for traffic control!!!
There are curvy narrow roads where currently folks should not be biking or walking, yet they do. Very dangerous for all. Responsibility lies with drivers, the town, and the bikers/walkers. We would do more of the latter if felt all areas were safe to do so. Wish others would also refrain from doing so on curvy narrow roads.
Put sidewalks in all major roads like Concord Rd, Hudson Rd, Marlboro Rd etc. Residents and their children should feel safe biking/walking to schools and downtown. It will ease the traffic around downtown if able to walk or bike instead of driving everywhere. Residents should feel safe to walk, run or bike anywhere around town. It will be good for the environment and our health/well being. Healthy town is a happy town.
Prohibiting bicyclists from the narrow and winding roads
Roads need to be wider and telephone polls are VERY close to road making certain areas dangerous for cars, bikers and pedestrians
More sidewalks on busy roads
Move electrical posts back further from roads
Will need to widen roads somehow, not take space away from cars.
Pedestrian crossing that is safely marked to cross 27 to Fairbanks. Continuous sidewalks that lead to town, especially on the section of 27 that connects to Maynard road.
Cyclist education on road/traffic rules. Many disregard traffic laws, especially when going through intersections, which creates an unsafe situation for all.
For pederstrians, having functining sidewalks is a must. The Rt. 20 sidewalks are virtually inaccesible with telephone poles in the middle of them, and little to no space between the sidewalk and the street. This makes the main shopping space (from the Mill to Whole Foods) a drive only option. It would be nice to have sidewalks, and/or pedestrian paths off the road, connecting the properties. Making sure all the other main roads that intersect with the BFRT (and hopefully any East-West rail trail in the future) have sidewalks so kids and families feel safe getting to the main access points, would be a good thing. The sidewalk from the high school on Concord Road should be extended all the way up to 117.
I have ridden my bicycle coast to coast. Safer places for cyclists would require more visibility-->wider roads in some places. I can speak for the areas near me: Definitely Old Garrison (nightmare for pedestrians), Dutton. And slow the traffic down on Dutton Rd. Speed bumps would be perfect.
Too much has been built on Rt. 20!! Where possible route cars away from Rt. 20, and stop loading up that road!
We need a light at Rt. 27/Hudson road. The timing of the lights on Rt. 117 need to be fixed.
Traffic light on corner of Landham Road and Rt. 20.
Bumpy poorly maintained bike roads are useless: a bike road needs to be smooth with no holes and bumps otherwise only pedestrians can use them.
Sudbury's terrain & roads are not appropriate for safe bicycling, are barely adequate for cars & pose risks to pedestrians. But pedestrians are more likely to be cognizant of their safety than cyclists.
Bike path! Widen roads! Add more street lighting! Fix and add more sidewalks. Better crosswalks with lights!
Old Lancaster could use some speed bumps (between Goodman and Concord), King Phillip too (speeding around route 20 traffic) Crosswalk signs in the road, instead of on the side to ignore.
Half this towns population can’t even stay on their side of the road. I live and work in Sudbury and would love the ability to walk to bike to work. But too many narrow roads and arrogant drivers make me fear for my life.
Cyclists, especially when traveling in groups of 4 or more, are a hazard on narrow, curvy roads like Route 117 where there is no shoulder. Recreational cyclists should find better roads/paths so as not to be a danger to traffic and leave the narrow roads to vehicles.
More sidewalks; linked sidewalks - too many just stop forcing users into the road.
Do something do widen roads in certain areas, including Morse Rd. Make crosswalks more visible with lights and 3-D lines.
Enforce speeding and weight limits on local roads.
Dead tree removal is a priority in my eyes. I am frightened of the many, many huge old, and long-dead trees that my children pass when walking to and from school, in both calm and stormy weather. A neighbor's husband was killed in western Mass near Tanglewood by a falling limb, and I do not understand why dead tree removal is not a bigger priority here, i.e. removing large diameter dead trees that stand 5 feet or under from our roads.
Enforce No Truck routes. Tractor Trailer trucks drive daily on Goodman Hill Road
Develop rail trails to get cyclists off the narrow roads. Enforce crosswalk rules.
I love seeing so many people walking, running, scootering on sidewalks for exercise. Would like to see connections (Dutton - Tanbark/Pratts Mill) of all walkways on major roads - especially here where it is narrow 2 lane road and dangerous to walk on side - treacherous WITH SNOW narrowing it more. Pathways / crosswalks TO and FROM the library, the schools, Whole Foods. Flashing light crosswalks with button for any highspeed roads so traffic actually stops. Hudson Rd, Route 27, Concord Rd
Cyclist should be discourage from using the narrow roads. We need a good (SAFE) north /south rout for them to use and ask them to stay off all the dangerous routes. Someone is going to get badly hurt.
For bicycles, street cleaning is critical - keep the sand and gravel off the road. Mountain Bike trails are excellent for health and recreation.
Notice when bike races are on Concord road - Pantry Road on the weekends . Very windingvroad
We need a right hand turn lane on Concord Road southbound to speed up traffic in the center of town.
Install sidewalks on side roads.
A lost of homeowners have aggressive, full-size dogs. Most, but not all homeowners have invisible fences. The dogs run to the edge of the property line, and bark ferociously. Startling and scaring me. Now I carry a stick for self-defense, and am always on the lookout for a dog coming from behind. This happens to me 90+% of the time on my walk. So avoid dead-end and less frequently traveled streets. High-traffic roads have less of a problem (Peakham, Bent, Horse Pond), but the constant traffic detracts from the enjoyment of a walk.
For such a nice town, I can't walk around and enjoy its beauty with my family as other than our street we can't get across town or even off our street without the risk of getting hit by a car on a narrow windy road. Without sidewalks we almost never walk as a family.
Don't shrink roads for accommodate bikes. Add road width for bike lanes.
There are inherent problems with making all roads safe for walkers, runners, and cyclists - i.e. the narrow, winding streets. Many of them cannot be widened or straightened - and to do so would eliminate the precious "rural" nature of Sudbury. It is unfortunate that people don't realize the limitations of the street they will live on before they purchase the property!
wider roads would make it safer for everyone including bikes and runners
Bike lanes. Also add plantings between walkways and roads.
Most roads are too narrow to safely walk
MORE sidewalks. more advanced traffic controls (i.e. intelligent light systems), better road surface markings/painting of crosswalks, approaches to crosswalks/lights, vigorous enforcement of speed limits by the police department (on a regular basis), more use of the radar-activated lights advising motorists of their actual speed vs. speed limit, road signage advising motorists of crossings, etc., investment by town in an ongoing and serious public information campaign.
Enforce speed limits on major secondary roads, such as Raymond. Repair badly sunken drains, such as Dutton Rd nr Hudson, since they force bikes to the center line. Can give you a list of your main problems.
The sidewalks are horrible. Part of the side walks on hudson road and not passable and my kids and I have to walk on the main road due to overgrowth
The main roads are good.
Is horrible to have the packs of bike riders on the narrow windy roads in north sudbury. Need crosswalk from horsepond across to the Japanese/Thai restaurant
Pedestrian/ runner /biker education campaign. Too many of them currently walk/bike on the road at dusk or in heavily shadowed areas where there is very low visibility and they are not wearing reflective clothing or lights. That is just an accident waiting to happen. People should wear light colors/reflective colors and/or lights if walking/riding on the street. In some cases, it may make sense to walk/run against traffic to be able to make a avoidance manuevers if the traffic does not notice them in low visibility conditions. Education here is key before sidewalks and bike paths can be built. Thanks!
The Bruce Freeman Rail Trail all the way to Route 20 would allow for non-car movement through the center of Sudbury, also promoting economic development. More sidewalks overall are needed with more continuity. Our old, historic roads are simply too narrow for safe non-car travel without these improvements.
We tried to put a sidewalk in Haynes road and it was too painful to get all the neighbors on board. Going on a run or walk on the narrow roads are not safe.
Powers Road has become a cut thru off 117 and Concord school buses. Time for speed bumps as in surrounding communities!
Educate drivers on etiquette when approaching cyclists in road
Cyclists need physically separated lanes on major roads like 117. Most drivers are both safe and courteous, but the one in 20 who aren't can end your life quickly.
I just think in general the roads in Sudbury are very narrow with little to no shoulder for bikes. Running is fine if there are sidewalks but then again not all roads have them. Concord has sidewalks almost everywhere and wider shoulders for bikes.
Somewhat wider roads in many places; and sidewalks.
Sidewalks added to locations where students wait for the bus, and sidewalks to provide safe walking/running on narrow, windy well traveled roads.
We need more sidewalks on busy/curvy roads. Dutton has sidewalks here and there. Why not make it continuous? Roads need to be wider for cyclists. That is why I don't bike around town - no bike trails and the roads are too narrow and curvy to be safe.
More sidewalks on busy roads, like Concord Road, Haynes Road, and Pantry Road would be awesome!
Add more sidewalks onto Dutton Road
There are many street that do not have sidewalks. Example parts of Dutton rd and marlboro rd. Very busy roads and people are trying to walk with their dogs. Very unsafe
We need more walkways on all streets, particularly the busy streets like Willis Road. We need to create a funding source for walkways now that we cannot use CPA funds to build walkways.
Cleaning sand off roads in the spring promptly will make it safer for cycling.
Hard to improve upon narrow windy roads with no sidewalks! But completing roads that have sidewalks that abruptly stop would be a great place to start!
I wish there were more off road places to bike. Adding bike lanes to roads would be hard because the roads are already so narrow.
I think that drivers simply need to slow way down, they need to stop driving around cars that stop to let other traffic turn (taking turns) or to let pedestrians out into crosswalks. Drivers are selfish, distracted, and they feel self-important. In some cases, Sudbury's roads are narrow and lighting isn't good at night - but then people wouldn't want light glare - so the only thing to do is get people to change their fast driving habits.
A side walk on Dutton Road. Very busy through road for cyclists and walkers. You should have the ability to walk to the any school that is around 1 mile in any direction on a sidewalk. Dutton is around 1 mile from Curtis middle school.
Need to make speed limit 25 town wide on all roads other than Rte 20 and maybe 27/117. Sudbury is too densely populated with too many children for 35 mph small side streets (again, Peakham Rd near center of town being a perfect example)
The historical downtown has too many 18 wheelers, these trucks are too big for the roads. How can we limit them on Concord rd?
Every road should have a walkway. There are portions of the road where walkers/ bikers have to walk in the road before they get to next walkway
Roads should be wider. There’s very little leeway to pass a cyclist and limited visibility with hills and curves.
We need to share the roads with each other. Problem is there are so many clogged areas from Old Sudbury to Peakham to Fairbanks and more wherein drivers lose their patience very quickly. This is not a walkabout/ride about town.
Hold bikers accountable for traffic laws, being unsafe when approaching/passing walkers and for obstructing traffic. Install sidewalks with a buffer between the road and the walkway.
Most important improvements would be around making it safe for kids to walk/bike to school... sidewalks (preferably not changing sides of busy roads), visible crosswalks for drivers to see, etc.). My kids would love to bike to school on their own and gain some independence but with a crossover in a random spot on Hudson Rd, I’m not sure this will ever happen.
Make sure sidewalks connect or lead to easy to walk side roads. Make sidewalks available on both sides of dangerous roads (Concord Rd) bc crossing to them often hard
Add and keep sidewalks clear. Adding bike lanes sounds good, but the roads are too narrow to offer anything but the illusion that they would be safe.
If there were sidewalks on Maynard, Willis, and Marlboro Rds, we could walk/bike to Town Center and Haskell field. My kids could bike to Curtis and their friends' houses. They would've biked to Nixon if they could have. More pedestrian lights, like the one installed at Nixon to cross heavy-traffic roads. 20mph speed limits in neighborhoods, and 25mph limits on side roads.
Improve the Landham Road intersection. Keep up better on pot holes.
better sidewalks for runners and walkers. Not sure what to do about cyclists because so many roads are so narrow it would be hard to put in bike lanes
I seem to recall that the State approved the installation of traffic signals at intersection of Route 20 and Landham Road. What ever happened? Really need them there
Cyclists/runners and drivers share the road and too often, there are close calls due to bad behavior from both. Perhaps some sort of education campaign that reminds drivers of the best ways to go around/pass cyclists. Also, remind cyclists that they too need to be respectful of drivers.
Sidewalk on Lincoln Rd as well as speed bumps along Lincoln road in association with the high school. It would be nice if there were speed bumps on Lincoln Rd throughout the entrance and exit areas to slow traffic for the stretch of Lincoln Rd where the high school kids are walking/driving/biking/running with teams/ etc. People fly down Lincoln Rd, maybe a few good size speed bumps would be a good reminder about all the kids there!
Some of the sidewalks are in rough shape or are too narrow to safely use for both pedestrians & bikers in areas where the road is an unsafe alternative. Also, traditionally bicycles are not allowed on sidewalks and pedestrians get upset when they are, so there should be a shared use campaign of sorts
Paint white lines on the sides of major roads (Routes 20, 117, 27, etc.)
Kid friendly and safety stops. Reduce speed limits on all main roads
LIght at Landham Rd Rte 20, more sidewalks on narrower roads
wider main roads. bike lanes on major roads - concord rd, rt 27, hudson road, landham road, edgel road, rt 20 - and any other main artery we have.
Add sidewalks to roads that don't have them; complete sidewalks on roads that only have sidewalks on part of them (e.g., Willis Rd, Mossman Rd); widen some of the narrower roads (some roads are only really wide enough for 1.5 cars, leaving pedestrians/cyclists no place to get out of the way of cars); improve accessibility for people with disabilities (crosswalk lights with audio cues for when it's safe to walk, more and safer sidewalks, etc.)
Police need to enforce the rules of the road for cyclists too, which means they can't run red lights, pass on the shoulder, or cut off traffic. I have to brace myself for a head-on collision every time I pass a cyclist traveling WELL BELOW the speed limit. These roads are too old, curvy, and narrow for cycling. I'm all for a bike lane where space allows, but again, cyclist have to use it or risk being ticketed.
Near the schools, there are many walkers but very few sidewalks. The children have to walk in the street. If it were safer, we would bike a lot more for school and recreation. The shoulders of roads are getting increasingly damaged so the bikes and walkers are forced to go into the lanes and cars can't move over without risking falling off the road and damaging the tires/undercarriage. Very dangerous for the many bikers and walkers on Water Row, Newbridge, and Plympton, especially those trying to walk to Nixon. It is especially dangerous in the winter, when the shoulder is covered so children are walking in the middle of the roadway and the road width is significantly narrowed (but the cars don't slow down). Increased maintenance of wooded paths might be helpful too but currently the overgrowth and risk of ticks is too high for the paths to be of use.
Add speed humps like Wayland on narrow windy roads. This would make it safer for cyclists and pedestrians.
Walkways are a must on all major roads
We live just off of Hudson between Fairbanks and Town Center. We are grateful and very appreciated on the availability of some sidewalks in this area. However, the brush is not always maintained, preventing a clear walking path. Also the side of the road that there is a sidewalk, switches a few times along the way, but the number of cross walks seemed to have been reduced when they last did work on Hudson (last Spring?) Will there be another survey or forum to weigh in on car traffic? A large chunk of my commute is spent driving around or through the morning backup on Hudson through town center. The change to the light timing did seem to improve things to some extent (thank you!). Perhaps a later high school start would help some too. Without commuter alternatives (like a commuter rail... a girl can dream), it would seem driving is the only option available to most people to get the work. Thank you for all that you do and allowing residents to weigh in!
At major intersections, drivers are not adhering to stopping for pedestrians. It is a serious, widespread area in town. How can this be enforced more? I am a weekly walker and have constant issues on Fairbank Road at all 3 walkways. Drivers don't seem to be watching and aware of pedestrians, need more visible means to alert them like flashing lighted signs we can press to activate.
More sidewalks; and safety would improve if bikers followed road rules
Have police issue tickets for cars not stopping for people trying to cross the roads.
educate drivers that they are not driving on route 128! I live on a much traveled road where drivers don't respect the signs.
some of the sidewalks are in rough shape. I would maintain the sidewalks better so that people use them instead of the road.
Lowered vehicle speeds + enforcement; longer signals for ped xings; bike boxes at all stops + signals; all major roads with 4' bike lanes; maintenance + debris + snow/ice clearance of shoulders and bike lanes; signs "Bikes Can Use Full Lane"; all crosswalks with "Continental" bar markings plus signs at crossings alerting drivers to ped priority; sidewalks only for peds.
All wide enough roads could have bike lanes.
Fix potholes. The Highway Department seems to prioritize for cars, not bikes. Only potholes in the middle of the road get priority. Bikes are along the edges. In fact, improve roadway construction overall: alligatoring at the edges is just stupid and is evidence of shoddy foundations. Don't assume walkways are the solution: they are too twisty and bumpy for anyone but pedestrians, and too dangerous for pedestrians if cyclists use them too.
Every single day cars run the route 20/Concord road red light. Every single day, I watch this. I am terrified that there id going to be a fatal accident. People literally speed up at the yellow and even proceed straight through a full red on Route 20. Police must be present to remind cars on Route 20 that this is ILLEGAL and DANGEROUS. No pedestrian, bicyclist or driver should EVER expect cars to follow the traffic light rules at this intersection. It is becoming a chronic problem.
I wish people would truly share the road: for cars to slow down, bikes to go single file and help cars pass when they have a line behind them and not ride during rush hour on narrow roads AND for walkers and pedestrians to not assume drivers, riders can see them..look both ways and wait for them to stop!
We need bicycle lanes otherwise not safe to bike on main roads
wider roads. some of our roads are too windy and dangerous. willis, mossman, parts of concord road
Ban Massachusetts drivers from the roads. (Yes, I have a Massachusetts drivers lincense)
I use sidewalks where I can to bike but they are also unsafe. Broken, sudden curbs, too narrow at points with trees. There are too many unsafe crossings for kids to bike to school — unsafe time cross 20, unsafe to cross concord road south of town center and north of 20 (for example, going from one part of old Lancaster to the other). Old Lancaster and water row are popular for walkers and bikers, but too many speeding cars on narrow way make it unsafe. Consider speed bumps to
Improved lighting along main roads, especially those that are narrow or very windy (or both, ie Peakham).
Cyclists make driving much more dangerous, and they’re often on narrow winding roads with no shoulders.
