Implement Speed Humps for Safer Streets


Implement Speed Humps for Safer Streets
The Issue
I write this petition from a place of personal pain and concern. My home was struck by a speeding vehicle, the harrowing sound and impact of that event still vibrating through my thoughts. And with each passing day, it becomes more apparent - next time, it might not be a house but a life lost.
Every year, approximately 20% of all traffic fatalities arise from speed-related accidents, as reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). It's not just numbers; it's people. It's neighbors, friends, and family - our communities.
Speed humps have proven to mitigate this issue. A study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) found that speed humps reduce vehicle-related residential accidents by approximately 40%. Our neighborhoods deserve this protection.
For the safety of our streets and the peace of mind for all residents, we must take action. Let us urge our local government to implement the addition of speed humps to our residential roads, making them safer for everyone.
Please sign this petition. Act for safer streets today before we lose more than just property; we lose a life.
