I take Cedar every day, and if anything, I go slower on that street, especially the section between Broadway and Highland. You may be perceiving traffic going by at a high speed because the street is so narrow, but I don't think it's really any faster than on any other Somerville street.
I'm not fond of Cedar, though, and I agree that it's a dangerous place for pedestrians and drivers alike. Limiting parking to one side of the street or eliminating it altogether would be a good first step towards making it safer. I hate, hate, hate speed bumps of any kind and don't think they'd work particularly well on Cedar because of the hills.
