Description
Northside Avenue is one of the longest and widest straightaways in Highland Park, and people constantly fly down the street and ignore all of the stop signs. I've seen many instances of people drag racing down the street given how wide it is and there are numerous kids in the area that are at risk of getting hit by a car since no one is paying attention to the stop signs on the road. Northside Avenue badly needs some sort of speedbump/traffic calming feature that nearby streets already received.

- Staff · October 9, 2024Northside traffic between Meadowbridge and Richmond Henrico Turnpike stops at each block. This includes Meadowbridge, Wellington, Napoleon and Richmond Henrico Turnpike depending on the direction of travel. The block sections measure approximately 400’, 460’ and 630’. Speed tables are not planned since vehicles have to stop at each block in the short street sections. Contact the Richmond Police Department (804.646.5100) to report motorists running stop signs and drag racing.
