Why did it take them 22 days
Why did it take them 22 days to post this? Cold cases are harder to solve.
Good point, as in many cases,
Good point. I hadn't noticed the timeline; it's not mentioned in the Uhub post and rather inconspicuous in the police blog. As in many cases, one can't help but wonder if the response would have been this slow if this hit and run had taken place in West Roxbury or the Back Bay.
To give police a chance to find the …
… suspect before they know pics have been broadcast and they hide the car.
22 days though?
Presumably the car has been hidden or repaired at this point...
Let's face it
If catching and punishing hit and run drivers is a priority for our cops and legal system, they sure don't bother to advertise it
Most of Dorchester has the
Most of Dorchester has the potential to be reasonably pedestrian friendly. But whenever a street is not congested, the driving speed is ridiculously unsafe; it's a free for all and there is practically no enforcement. Adding to the issue and even though it is completely useless, it seems like every new car model must have more horse power, acceleration and weight than the one before, further enabling the hordes of driving sociopaths. It's not just my impression; locally and nationally fatalities are up by double digits even though less miles have been driven in the past two years.
Five years ago, the city street driving speed limit was lowered to 25 but very few people have noticed. Are there currently any viable initiative to implement speeding cameras or any type of enforcement in Boston? Until that happens, "Vision Zero Boston" will remain a joke; we are actually headed in the opposite direction!
Too many lanes for too little
Too many lanes for too little traffic in HP, Dot etc.
Almost all of Boston's Avenues need to be reworked.
Its not just less lanes
Its not just less lanes needed. It could be one lane and a person obeying the law and driving the speed limit will be subjected to a road rager behind them who is mad they can't speed. Its literally dangerous to obey the traffic laws in Boston because of threatening from the angry entitled reckless and selfish drivers.
It’s more dangerous to give in …
… to the pressure and drive dangerously yourself.
They're more bark than bite
Ignore them and drive a safe speed.
That one person obeying the
That one person obeying the law is by default forcing the other person to thanks to no passing lane.
