- Staff · January 10, 2025The 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 Bancroft Ave measured 18-mph between Richmond Henrico Turnpike and Meadowbridge Rd. The speed sample is in general compliance with the 25-mph speed for residential streets and speed tables are not planned. The Manual for Uniformed Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) contains the national standards governing all traffic control devices. All public agencies with roads open to public travel across the nation rely on the MUTCD to bring uniformity to the roadway. The use of “Autistic Child” signs is discouraged by state and federal transportation departments. These signs also may give families a false sense of security. These signs do not describe where the child might be. Most streets within a residential area have children who react in the same way, and each driver must be aware of all children in a neighborhood environment.
