Living on Mañana Street in clovis NM has become increasingly unbearable. Ever since they installed the speed signs to display how fast vehicles are traveling, it's only gotten worse. Speeders seem to be taking the current signage as a challenge rather than a warning. This has dramatically increased the danger to our community, making it difficult for families, children, and the elderly to feel safe in their own neighborhood.

Mañana Street is a residential area that should be a haven for all its residents. However, the current situation poses a severe safety risk. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), speeding contributes to nearly one-third of all traffic fatalities. Considering these alarming statistics, the risk of a vehicle losing control and crashing into one of our homes is frighteningly real — it’s a risk we shouldn’t have to endure.

We need the city to take immediate action before a tragedy strikes. Here are some concrete actions that can be taken to curb this danger:

1. **Increase police presence:** Regular monitoring by law enforcement can deter potential speeders.
2. **Install speed humps:** Physical barriers like speed humps are highly effective in reducing vehicle speeds.
3. **Use of advanced traffic calming measures:** Employing chicanes or road narrowing design can also slow down traffic effectively.

It's crucial that we work together with city officials and traffic department experts to implement these measures swiftly. Our request is simple yet vital: enforce and install appropriate speed regulations to protect our neighborhood’s safety.

Please sign this petition to urge the Albuquerque city council and local authorities to prioritize the safety of Mañana Street residents over reckless driving. Your support can make our neighborhood a safer place for everyone.
