Comments
- Staff · August 6, 2024Cityworks ID: 535811
- Staff · August 7, 2024The Fire Marshall does not support speed tables on Mechanicsville Ave /Mosby St given the functional classification of an urban minor arterial and a strategic route for emergency vehicles crossing I-64 and into Henrico County. Every second counts for the Fire Department to reach fires and other emergencies and they don’t need speed tables on key streets to reduce their response times. Mechanicsville Turnpike has the same classification as Broad St and as Belvidere St to name a couple of streets and neither Broad St nor Belvidere St has speed tables. Redd St and T Street are classified as urban local streets which under certain conditions could have speed tables. - Redd St – Redd St stops at Coalter St and at Mechanicsville Turnpike. Between these two streets measures approximately 770’. The 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. A speed table is not currently planned on Redd St given the distance between the two stop signs. - T St - A speed table is planned on T St between 19th St and 20th St.
