Is petitioning required?
Yes. Petitions help show whether strong resident support for speed humps exists. The City will designate an “affected area,” usually consisting of homes along the street where speed humps are proposed. Residents must obtain support from at least 70 percent of residents in the affected area, and must obtain support from every resident whose home is within 100 feet of a proposed speed hump. Where can speed humps be installed? Speed humps are permitted on local streets in residential areas where the speed limit is 25 mph. However, speed humps are not permitted: • On streets where drainage water flows down the center of the street • On streets regularly used by buses, trucks, or emergency vehicles • Within 200 feet of a STOP or YIELD sign • On streets dustproofed with Bituminous Surface Treatment (BST) or on alleys • On or near steep grades or sharp curves • Closer than 500 feet apart • On collector streets Who pays for speed humps, and how much do they cost?
