A freshly-painted green bike lane runs alongside a row of white flexible-post bollards and the sidewalk, where a white bicycle leaning against a traffic light pole memorializes George Clemmer, a bicyclist who was killed at this intersection in July 2022.

In addition to hundreds of crashes that ended peoples’ lives, MassDOT’s crash database also records 2,361 crashes that caused serious injuries, plus 16,307 crashes that caused less serious injuries to their victims, during 2022.
