Description
Increase in parents and others driving very fast down this road near the school. I have seen an uptick in speeders down this short stretch of road now that speed tables are on the other streets nearby. Its like they are trying to avoid those so they now come down this road. This has been an issue for a while but now it has gotten worse. So thankful for the other speed tables put in earlier this year in our neighborhood!

- Staff · November 17, 2023The focused approach on speed management in the City’s Neighborhood Traffic Management Program first considers the distance of a free flow street of at least 1200’ in length in a tangent section without traffic signals, existing traffic calming measures or stopped conditions on the major street. Speed tables are not planned on Merrimac Rd given the length of the street at around 750’.
