Medfield Historical Minute...
This "Medfield Historical Minute" is brought to you by town historian Richard DeSorgher.
A little something to read and learn to give you a little break during this time of boredom during isolation due to the Coronavirus Crisis. A different "Medfield Historical Minute" will appear each day during the Crisis.
"In 1914 concern was shown over the speed of the new automobiles that were appearing on Medfield streets. The following warning was issued: ‘To the Automobile Drivers in Medfield: “The automobile owners of Medfield are going to stop fast driving through this town. Before resorting to several permanent speed traps, we take this method to regulate the automobile traffic. Won’t you personally help us when going through by not running faster that 12 miles per hour? You can go through the town at 12 miles per hour in five minutes, if you go fast you cannot go less than two and one-half minutes. Will you not do your part in helping us to make speed traps unnecessary in Medfield.”
