Comments
- Staff · November 16, 2024Cityworks ID: 542068
- Staff · November 18, 2024The 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 sample on Garland Ave between Hooper St and Brookland Park Blvd measured 15mph. The samples are in general compliance with the 25-mph speed for residential streets and speed tables are not planned.
