Question

A community group is upset because drivers speed through their neighborhood. They want the local government to install a stop sign or a speed bump to make drivers slow down. Which option might be the best way for them to accomplish this?

Answer 1

First Research your City's Procedure. Be clear on the local procedure for traffic calming. These specifics will help you determine your course of action. Cities often require a traffic or speeding study before authorizing traffic calming. After you understand what your municipality does or does not require. Be prepared to share this information with your neighbors. Have all necessary print outs on hand including a petition. Then you should contact the community officials, council person, police precinct, etc.
