neighborhood traffic

Re: [NNADL] [nndl] [Fwd: Re: Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program Update]

Speed bumps are ineffective, from my RNA perspective of 7 years of requesting and planning for traffic calming, per the approved n'hood plan. 
 
We needed/need road closures for the 6 feeder road incursions, in order to protect our hood from access road traffic - the cars and definitely the trucks.  What we got was speed bumps. These I see vehicles take at their "normal speed".

From what I hear, the majority of residents in Hyde Park appreciate the
traffic calming they received. A few people complain about the traffic
circles, but most people (especially long-term residents who remember
what it was like before) appreciate the drop in both numbers and speed
of cars.

Speed humps are probably the least desirable approach (albeit probably
the most effective). I personally prefer curb/pedestrian islands and
traffic circles.

Victoria -- Unfortunately, at this point, it is the lesser of two evils.
The humps may be awful, but they beat scraping dead pets (and maybe
somebody's kids) off the street every couple of weeks. Not to mention
the three (at least) cars that have been totaled along Avenue F between
Koenig and North Loop within the last year.
