There are NO SPEED HUMPS installed on Burnside Drive.

Thank you for submitting your request to the Howard County Department of Public Works\Traffic Engineering Divison. Our staff will investigate this issue and respond.

Speed Volume counts were taken on Burnside Drive Jan 22-23, 2020
East bound Speeds were:
Avg: 30MPH, Operating Speed(85th%ile):36MPH

West bound Speeds were:
Avg: 33MPH, Operating Speed(85th%ile):39MPH

Avg Daily Volume: 578 Vehicles Per Day

While speed meets the requirements for beginning the hump process, volume does not.(See attached)

This project will remain open while we explore other options.

For speed enforcement, please contact Howard County Police directly, as they do not subscribe to See Click Fix.

While I appreciate that a speed/volume analysis was completed, I do not think 2 days of data on days that were cold and raining should count as not meeting volume requirements. Try again when the weather warms up and I bet speed and volume will increase and exceed the requirements.
FYI...the counters had the taped peeled up and the tubes were not evenly across the road after the first day. This may have affected data as well.

Volume is unlikely to double regardless of the weather.

I beg to differ

Any recount would have to wait until COVID-19 crisis is over and school is in session.
