The Worcester Police Department stated, "After more than 90 pedestrian-involved crashes in 2024, the Worcester City Council voted to reduce the speed limit to 25 miles per hour citywide on Sept. 10." This measure reflects a proactive approach to curb traffic-related incidents that have significantly impacted the community.
Worcester officials emphasized the seriousness of the situation, declaring a "Road Safety and Traffic Violence Crisis" in July, a response to the growing number of pedestrian accidents, including a tragic incident that claimed the life of a 13-year-old girl.
