Ludlow Police addressing speeding concerns in one neighborhood

LUDLOW, MA (WGGB/WSHM) - Police have been getting complaints about some traffic violations in a specific neighborhood in Ludlow.

They said that residents have been increasingly reporting concerns along Stivens Terrace, Mountainview Street, and Parkview Street.

Authorities are reminding drivers that the speed limit throughout the area is 25 miles per hour, you have to come to a complete stop at every stop sign, rolling stops are unlawful and pose a safety risk, and no commercial vehicles over two-and-a-half tons are allowed.

The Ludlow Police Department put out a reminder to motorists on social media, saying they need to follow the speed limit and that complete stops need to be made at every stop sign as rolling stops are unlawful and pose a safety risk.

Even further, police say they have recently implemented enhanced patrols within the affected streets to promote safety and to make sure traffic laws are being followed.

Broga told Western Mass News he saw two patrol vehicles at the dead-end on Parkview, “They pull over a car. Ten seconds later, another car comes through, and a second cruiser would come out and pull that car over.” while he accepts this initiative by police, Broga says more should be done.

Broga also said he would like to see these patrols occur possibly more than once a week and would like to see at least one more patrol vehicle in this area.

We tried reaching out to Ludlow Police for comment on this matter. However, no one was available to speak with us today.
