Our street is a one-way road marked with a speed limit of 15 mph. However, many drivers, including law enforcement, disregard this limit, creating a hazardous environment. The situation is dire because young children frequently play outside, and the risk of an accident is ever-present. We are earnestly calling for the installation of speed humps to effectively deter speeding and enhance safety.

By implementing speed humps, drivers will be forced to reduce their speed, ensuring safer road conditions for everyone, especially our children. Numerous studies show that speed humps can decrease traffic speed by 20-25%, thereby significantly reducing the chances of accidents. Moreover, these measures have been proven effective in similar communities, reducing not just speed, but consequent noise and pollution levels.

We urge local authorities and the Lexington, SC Town Council to prioritize the installation of speed humps on our street. This action will not only protect our young, vibrant residents but also create a safer and more peaceful environment for all community members. We seek your support to bring this matter to the attention of decision-makers and expedite the implementation of traffic calming measures.
