The Cambridge Traffic Department will begin enforcement of the city's jaywalking law on April 1, according to Robert E. Rudolph, department director. The law has been on the books since June 1, 1964.
Rudolph said he intends to preface enforcement of the law with a period of public education on the dangers of jaywalking. The only step taken so far has been the posting of anti-jaywalking signs--because of a lack of personal, Rudolph said.
City councilmen and John J. Curry '19, City Manager, have recently challenged Rudolph's traffic policies. "They're hoping I'll get the job done anyway and then they can say I didn't need the extra help in the first place," he complained. He noted that Massachusetts is the 50th state in the Union to pass an anti-jaywalking law.
