Description
People speed up and down 20th street all day. My home office faces the intersection with R Street and I see many near misses every day. Traffic speeds up and down 20th and cyclists, children from the elementary, school buses, etc use R Street and are in constant danger with the traffic on 20th. Stop signs and/or speed bumps at several intersections on 20th would be best for safety.

- Staff · September 8, 2023The 85th percentile speed, the speed that 85 percent of drivers travel at or below, is one of the best indicators of a reasonable and safe speed. The 85th percentile speed on 20th St between Fairmont Ave and Q St for a 48 hour period averaged around 28mph. This sample is in compliance with the posted 25 mph speed. Speed tables are not planned.
