In response to an increasing number of complaints regarding speeding problems in residential
neighborhoods, the city department of public works (the "department") has studied
available alternatives and methods employed by other similarly situated communities
and how effectively and successfully those communities have addressed residential
speeding problems. The installation of speed humps was found to be a popular and relatively
cost effective measure in reducing average speeds. When properly designed and installed,
and with strong majority community backing and support, speed humps were found to
be effective at reducing speeds in neighborhoods. After much experimenting and testing,
including testing on city streets, the use of speed humps has been widely endorsed
by transportation authorities. In the United States, a policy on the use of speed
humps has been developed by a special committee of the Institute of Transportation
Engineers (ITE). As a result of these preliminary efforts, the following procedures
have been established for groups of citizens in the city who want to pursue the installation
of speed humps in their neighborhoods.
