Yes, some inter-city cooperation would be really valuable here! (Lack of) Traffic calming has been a long-standing issue (cars speeding down the hill over the speed limit to “make” the light at Mass Ave) as well as cars parking right up to the edges of the each of the corners of the intersection, making visibility really difficult. Could raised crosswalks be added, at the very least?

I agree 100% that raised crosswalks would be a great idea. Along with not allowing cars to park right up to the corner, as it is hard to see coming out of Seven Pines onto Cameron.

What does not show up in the accident statistics is the number of near misses. We hear screeching tires and horns almost every day as accidents are avoided. The intersection is also a popular pedestrian crossing point for people going to and from the Red Line. We have also witnessed a number of bike accidents at the intersection. It is worth noting that I would say 80% of vehicles are exceeding the speed limit as they head towards Mass Avenue along Cameron, often by a considerable about as they get tunnel vision heading toward the lights.

Thank you for reporting your concern to City of Cambridge via Commonwealth Connect. We have reviewed the information you provided our staff and will be investigating this issue further.
