In our quiet Cornersville neighborhood, we treasure the sense of community and safety that makes our home a wonderful place to live. However, this tranquility is increasingly put at risk due to the growing number of speeding vehicles tearing down our streets. As a resident who cares deeply about our community's wellbeing, I feel compelled to address this issue before someone gets hurt.

Every day, I watch as cars speed past homes where children play and neighbors take leisurely walks. The fear of a potential accident looms over us—something preventable if we take action now. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), speeding killed 9,478 people in 2019—a statistic that should not include any of our loved ones.

Installing speed bumps is a proven method for reducing vehicle speeds and enhancing pedestrian safety. A study by the Institute of Transportation Engineers showed that speed bumps can decrease accident rates by 39%, demonstrating their effectiveness. By implementing these physical traffic calming measures, we can ensure that our streets become safer for everyone.

Our town’s leadership has the power to make a change. We are calling on the Cornersville Town Council to prioritize the safety of its residents by installing speed bumps throughout our neighborhood. This simple step will prevent accidents, protect our children, and preserve the peace of mind for which Cornersville is known.

Please join me in urging the Cornersville Town Council to take immediate action. Sign this petition to make our neighborhood a beacon of safety and community spirit. Together, we can ensure that Cornersville remains a haven for families to thrive.
