It truly sucks that it often costs somebody's life to push badly needed safety improvements across the finish line.

Edit: We also STILL need to know who killed John Corcoran!

… instead of a Mercedes, we would likely know.

Could be a fun time connecting the public record statie's payroll data base and/or a list of state officials with scraped ad or Mercedes service data indicating likely owners of Mercedes SUVs in Eastern MA.

Has anyone ever been pulled over or seen someone pulled over for speeding on DCR roads? Jamacaiway, storrow, mem drive, etc all have relatively low limits that are just ignored. I've tried doing the limit occasionally and it is not comfortable with everyone else screaming past.

I rarely see local PD on DCR roads except for emergency situations. Who is responsible for enforcement on DCR roads and could local PD step up without inciting a turf war.

Not just in Boston but throughout MA.
