Thank you for reporting this issue to us via SeeClickFix St. Pete. We have forwarded the details you have provided to the appropriate City department so that they may investigate and take any necessary action. We appreciate your help! Sincerely, Mayor's Action Center

Installation of speed humps is based on the City’s Neighborhood Transportation Management Program (NTMP), which was created to help address issues of speeding and cut thru traffic. This is a multi-step program requiring the participation of an active neighborhood association and an individual citizen willing to be the contact.

For a roadway segment to qualify for any type of traffic calming, traffic counts must reflect excessive speeds and/or volumes. Once the department receives a request, 24-hour speed and volume studies are conducted. The average operating speed of recorded vehicles over 24-hours must be above 35mph to meet the minimum speed threshold, and/or volumes need to exceed 10 trips per day per household within the study area, to meet the minimum volume threshold.

Once the speed and/or volume thresholds are verified, the next step in the process requires a contact person to circulate a petition, provided by the department, for traffic calming and obtain signatures from 2/3rds of the households within the study request area (renters can sign). The contact person is required to circulate the petition and obtain notification of the residents in the affected area. Keep in mind the affected area may extend beyond just the residents abutting the calmed street. The completed petition must be returned to the department for verification.

Once the petition thresholds are verified, a traffic calming plan or amendment to an existing Traffic Plan for calming the roadway is prepared. We then send the request, speed and volume data, and petition to the Neighborhood Association for consideration and approval as an amendment to the approved Traffic Plan. Once we receive their written approval, we issue a work order to implement the approved feature(s). This program is funded through Penney for Pinellas and there are no additional costs to the residents.

I will therefore schedule the required traffic studies and post the results and our recommendations here for your review and after actions.

24-hour average operating speeds recorded were 30.63 MPH Eastbound and 31.50 MPH eastbound, which do not meet the minimum threshold speed of 35 MPH which is required to have speed humps considered. The department will therefore schedule our Neighborhood Speed Watch - post mounted radar speed display sign to educate motorists of their speeds.
