Wakefield already has a number of traffic calming devices such as the sidewalk extension at the intersection of Chesnut and Main in the Square... the sidewalk is extended a short distance into the roadway [providing] several benefits to pedestrians. First, it shortens the crossing distance, especially important to slower walkers such as the elderly and folks with children in tow. Next, it gives pedestrians a safe place to see around parked cars to view traffic. Finally, the extension sharpens the turning radius, causing vehicles to slow down when turning the corner. 3, record 2, English, - unraised%20sidewalk%20extension
