Install Speed Bumps on Goosenest drive on Payson's Residential Roads

The Issue

Every morning, I watch my children walk to the bus stop, holding my breath as cars zoom past, often exceeding the speed limit by alarming margins. It's not just my children I'm worried about; it's also our elderly neighbor, who must navigate this dangerous stretch of road just to collect his mail. The reckless speeding, sometimes reaching 70 MPH or more, isn't just a nuisance—it's a direct threat to our community's safety.

Located in Payson, Utah, our neighbourhood roads have become a thoroughfare for vehicles gaining excessive speed, endangering the lives of pedestrians, especially vulnerable ones like children and the elderly. This concern isn't just personal; it's a communal issue that affects all residents who value safety and tranquility in our town.

Studies show that the installation of speed bumps is an effective measure to reduce vehicle speed by approximately 40%, significantly lowering the risk of accidents in residential areas. These calming measures are imperative not just to mitigate speeding but to help our community feel secure within its own streets.

By signing this petition, you'll help us urge the Payson City Council to address this pressing issue. We need immediate action to implement traffic calming measures, starting with the installation of speed bumps. Let's protect our loved ones and preserve the safety and integrity of our neighborhood. Please sign and share this petition to make our roads safer for everyone.
