Just last year, a personal tragedy struck our family. My sister was in a car accident while turning off of Niihau Street onto Waianae Valley Road. This unfortunate event was primarily caused by a speeding car coming from the opposite direction. It's a grim reality that speeding is a recurring problem on this road, endangering innocent lives.

The Federal Highway Administration(FHWA) study indicates that speed bumps effectively reduce vehicle speeds, making residential streets safer for all residents (Reference: FHWA). Implementing a speed bump on Waianae Valley Road could help avoid future unfortunate accidents and make the road safer for everyone.

What happened to my sister is something that we don't want any other family to endure. Let's ensure that Waianae Valley Road is made safer for all who use it daily. Let us urge our officials to act now. Please, sign this petition and join us in advocating for the installation of a speed bump on Waianae Valley Road.
