This is why speed bumps do not work. Please come take mine if you want this all day and night:

Correction, speed bump that is too low don't work like the one in the video. Show the video after they raise speed bump after the same joker rams through it again. It's funny one.

We have forwarded this request for traffic calming measures at this location to the Neighborhood Transportation Department so that they may investigate and take any necessary action. Sincerely, Mayor's Action Center

Transportation Department staff will monitor traffic and report our findings and recommendations here when completed.

If the speed limit is 25mph, you should able to drive 25 mph over the speed bumps. I have seen people hit the bump in front of my house so hard the trunk flies open... For comparison, the speed bumps in Winter Park work perfectly for calming traffic and yet allowing drivers to go the limit. This business of slamming brakes and roaring acceleration for Meadowlawn speed bumps SUCKS!

If the speed limit is 25 mph, drivers should be able to drive 25 mph over the speed bumps. Winter park was able to implement speed bumps like that which calm traffic and yet allow traffic to flow without causing screeching brakes and roaring acceleration every time a driver encounters a speed hump. I have seen drivers hit the bump in front of my house so hard that their trunk flies open and the contents are sent airborne. It causes pollution and noise!

Speed humps are designed to achieve an average operating speed of 25 MPH when installed between 400' to 600' apart.

Traffic studies were conducted at two locations and the results are as follows -

1 - between Organdy and Orpine =

E/B - 296 vehicles, average operating speed = 31.22 MPH
W/B - 122 vehicles, average operating speed = 35.63 PH
34 of 418 vehicles or 8.1% exceeded 35 MPH

2 - between 10th & 14th Streets =

E/B = 98 vehicles, average operating speed = 35.63 MPH
W/B = 176 vehicles, average operating speed = 36.36 MPH
and 46 of 274 vehicles or 16.8% exceeded 35 MPH

Based on this data both locations qualify for speed humps with speeds over the 35 MPH threshold between 10th and 16th Streets.

Please contact me directly to obtain a petition for circulation along 76th Avenue N which is the next step in the process, at 893-7843.
