The City does not normally post the 30 MPH speed limit since it is the State Statutory speed, unless otherwise posted. So, we post exceptions to the 30 MPH speed limit.

What does the city recommend then for a situation like this? Drivers are turning in from 58th Street onto 17th and 19th Avenues, driving north on 59th Street over the speed limit to Cut Through the Neighborhood to get to 22nd Avenue and bypass the light at 58th Street and 22nd Avenue? This is a neighborhood with children of all ages playing in their front yards. Even the most watchful parent can't always anticipate every situation, furthermore these drivers are exhibiting very little head to anything the neighborhood has tried to do. Is there other signage that would help? Are there signs that say, Children are Playing here? Please advise. What are the solutions that have worked in other neighborhoods, because I pretty certain this is not an uncommon problem. Please don't leave it up to the neighborhood to solve this problem or until a child is injured or worse. Please share your expertise in these situations. You have a LOT more experience that we neighbors. Please don't close this issue without helping the neighbors find a solution to the issue. Thanks

The city has already said they will not put up children at play Signs anymore. I'm guessing you're a neighbor that knows me so you know on multiple occasions we've had the police department out as well to talk to some of the people up and down the block that fly by and skid over the speed bump while texting and driving. From everything we have gathered from the city that's all we can do now is keep calling the police department and having them send officers out.

This is a problem City wide and there are no engineering solutions that address a few motorists who insist on erratic behavior. Transportation Department staff will however, schedule 24-hour speed studies. Speed humps could be considered should the average operating speed exceed 35 MPH.

We have two speed humps currently and it seems to be a game to either see how fast they can go in between or for the newer vehicles, they seem to not even notice. I also believe the study done a while after the bumps we're installed the average speed was still over 35

Reopen is acknowledged

I see the city has placed some speed sensors out, that's cool and all but they are in between the two speed humps. While we have people hauling butt between the humps the worst of it is from 13th to north to the hump. We did the petition originally hoping to get three humps. That way there would be another in that spot. My guess is we will just keep having to park vehicles in the street creating a gauntlet like we have been for the past few weeks to slow people down

These are department speed and volume counters positioned between the two speed humps to monitor their effectiveness. An additional speed hump was probable not installed due to petitioned limits or based on who signed YES / No or Not In Front. Based on the results of this count we can always schedule another n/of 13th Avenue N. I will report the findings once the data has been analyzed.

Traffic study just came back and the results show that 24-hour average operating speeds between the speed humps were 28.00 MPH northbound and 27.50 MPH southbound, in this a 25 MPH speed zone. Also, the distance between 13th Avenue N and the first speed hump is 478 feet which would not support implementation of an additional speed hump based on our installation criteria of 400' to 600' between stop signs and speed humps.Based on these results no additional measures are required.

Of course nothing else would be done by you guys, especially since we have been parking on the street getting people to slow down, not realizing till yesterday evening that you were doing the speed study.

I think we might need to video so you guys can actually watch how fast people are coming over the hump. Not that anything else will be done that way either.

The issue that you reported previously has been addressed by the City, and this open work order is now closed. Please feel free to submit future requests to us via SeeClickFix St. Pete, and thanks again!
