How often does the city receive speeding complaints?
We typically receive multiple inquiries with respect to traffic calming (speeding) in a given month. There are certain times throughout the year when we receive a higher volume of inquiries such as the beginning of a school year, when the weather turns warmer as vehicles and pedestrians are sharing the right-of-way.
Why do we have speeding issues?
Drivers tend to drive the speed they feel comfortable with in an area. This can vary throughout the City based on factors such as familiarity, distractions, and the posted speed limit.
