Description
Please install speed bumps along Ford Avenue. The roadway is heavily trafficked by people cutting through from mechanicsville turnpike to downtown. People blow through the stops signs going 50+ mph. There are a lot of children in the neighborhood and it is extremely dangerous how fast cars drive through the residential street. Cars parked along the street are constantly side swiped by reckless vehicles. We need a more permanent solutions to the speeding and dangerous driving. Thank you!

- Staff · May 6, 2024The 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 Ford Ave given the all-way stops at three intersections between Fairfield Way and Mechanicville Turnpike.
