Descrição
The speed bumps on 3rd St S between 22nd Ave S and 17th Ave S are improperly shaped and horrible to drive over. I've driven over speed bumps all over the city without issue, but these two bumps in particular are very destructive to a vehicle's suspension and undercarriage, and are unlike any other bump in the city. The second problem with them is that they are difficult to see at night in this low light area; the signs beside them are inadequate in warning drivers. I have no issue at all with traffic calming in this area and encourage the speed bumps' presence, it's simply the design of these humps that are a problem. Please correct.

Transportation Department staff has verified that the profiles of the two speed humps are within acceptable tolerances. Staff has also installed a wide white pavement marking strip across the humps that is retro reflective and should help to identify the raised pavement in dark or dull lighting conditions. We will also install a retro reflective marker on the “Speed Hump” sign post to help attract motorist’s attention to the feature.
Installation of these two speed humps was considered after 24-hour average operating speeds were confirmed to be over 35 MPH, a minimum qualifying speed. In addition, the Old Southeast Neighborhood Association circulated a petition signed by over 2/3rds of the residents along 3rd Street and they also approved the installation as an amendment to their approved Traffic Plan, all a required procedure to have speed humps installed.

Sorry...I have lived her my entire life(53) and I did NOT receive a petition.......The Neighborhood Association does not speak for all citizens in Old SE. I would now like to see the petitions and the traffic data that warrants these speed humps.
I will call you today to review and ask for public info.

You all must have observed a shifting roadway surface, where the asphalt seems to slide away under the constant braking of vehicles or large trucks. This may help to explain the characteristics that we are working with when trying to layer, compact and shape a 14 foot long by 28 foot wide by 3 inch at its highest point, parabolic surface. It’s not rocket science, but an onerous task to say the least. We have therefore, gone out to adjust many speed humps that lose their shape over time or flatten out. Those that have been on the high side will also flatten out over time as the asphalt is further compacted, similar to those on 22nd Avenue SE.
We appreciate your all your concerns and experiences and recognition of the diversity and limits we work with when implementing speed humps to control vehicle speeding in residential neighborhoods. We understand that the installation of speed humps is controversial, which is why we have such a public participation process to have them approved and installed.
As I have indicated in previous posts, these two speed humps are within the =/- tolerances we maintain for our speed hump profile and no additional modifications are required at this time.
