Description
I know Malden has recently enacted a city-wide 25mph speed limit baseline. I believe the Fellsway E has always been marked for either 25mph or close to it. That said, the speeding, and particularly the vehicle noise situation is out of control on our street, and in the West End and into Medford as a whole.
We've taken to using white noise, ear plugs, and sound-dampening curtains in our bedroom, but nothing has been enough to protect us from the endless parade of over-tuned cars and motorcycles that blast up the Fellsway all day and all night.
We've lived here since 2008 and it honestly was never this consistently bad. It starts around 10pm and goes through to the morning, waking us up multiple times almost every night.
I know this is complicated problem, but I believe that there should be speed and noise ordinances that can restore some sanity here. Do you have any thoughts on what we can do to reclaim some peace and rest?

we have recently directed traffic enforcement to target this very issue. I have issued several citations last week for these illegal or malfunctioning exhaust systems. we will continue and give it as much attention as resources allow.
send me (etuxbury@maldenpd.com) an email with your location and Ill give it some attention as soon as I am available. We deployed officers to the Fellsway in the past for a similar issue and they found zero violations. Its frustrating to deploy resources to an area and not see the reported violations when we have other locations that are in need of service as well.
