Taunton Concerns with Traffic Near Schools

According to NBC 10 in Providence, city officials in Taunton want to extend the school zone and make it safer for students to travel to and from class.Last March, public safety officer for Taunton Arsenio Chaves set up radar along Williams Street in Taunton to see how fast drivers were going in the school zone. He’s now working with city councilors to improve signage in the area and hopefully make motorists think twice before speeding through. More than 3,000 students in Taunton go to school within a two mile radius of their homes, many of them walking, including elementary, middle and high school students.
