I am a resident of Summerville, SC and have personally witnessed the dangers that come with high-speed driving on our residential streets. Too many times, drivers recklessly speed around blind curves within our neighborhood streets. The result? Crashed mailboxes and damaged parked vehicles - a sight that has become all too common. Poor street lighting only exacerbates this issue, creating hazardous conditions for both drivers and pedestrians alike.

The solution is simple yet effective - speed bumps or humps throughout these residential areas. These traffic calming measures have been proven to reduce vehicle speeds by an average of 20% (source: Insurance Institute for Highway Safety). This reduction in speed can be the difference between a near miss and a tragic accident.

Implementing speed bumps would not only enforce drivers to drive more cautiously but also help residents feel safe while walking on the sidewalks. We need to prioritize safety over convenience in our neighborhoods.

It's time we take action to protect ourselves, our families, and our property from reckless driving behavior. Let's make Summerville safer for everyone by implementing speed bumps on residential streets within HOAs.
