(p.s. Cary didn’t crash “head on,” they clipped handlebars. There is NO evidence that speed was a factor. Lexington plans to post 15 mph speed limit signs, but Cambridge, Arlington and Bedford...? And Lexington’s “Burma Shave” signs predate the crash.)

Never actually got the details on the crash and I now see it was coincidence that I first saw the Burma Shave signs right after it, thanks for the info. I'm having a hard time imagining clipping handlebars at a slow speed, AND landing hard enough to be killed under those circumstances. I seem to recall the initial reports were they were going in opposite directions--is that not true?
I can see why Lexington would be more prone to putting the speed limit on--that stretch by the old Lexington train station is a lot of people going in different directions on foot, in cars and on bikes.
I think the pedestrian equivalent might be to tell people to wear sensible heels.
