Implement Speed Humps in The Ridgewood Subdivision for Child Safety


Implement Speed Humps in The Ridgewood Subdivision for Child Safety
The Issue
As a concerned parent living in the Ridgewood subdivision, safety is my utmost priority, especially when it comes to my three young children. Like many others, our family chose this neighborhood because of its child-friendly environment. However, the numerous reports of speeding vehicles have noticeably infringed upon our peace of mind. This issue not only negatively affects the quality of life in our community, but it also poses a significant risk to our children's well-being. I worry about my children even going out to check the mail on their own due to driving negligence. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, speed bumps reduced total child pedestrian injuries and deaths by 60% in residential areas (NHTSA). Consequently, I urge our local authorities to recognize this issue and its potential harm. By installing speed humps, we can effectively slow down aggressive drivers, reduce the possibility of accidents, and, most importantly, safeguard our children. Let's take steps together to ensure the safety of our neighborhood. Please sign this petition to ask for the implementation of speed humps in the Ridgewood subdivision. Primarily along Ridgehill Drive.
