Children in Waukee, IA, need a safe environment to play, learn, and grow. With increased traffic volume and speeding on local streets, our community's most vulnerable citizens—our children—are at risk. Speeding vehicles not only endanger children's lives but also disrupt the peace and safety of our neighborhoods. Installing speed bumps is an effective and proven method to slow down traffic, thereby significantly reducing the risks of accidents.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, speed bumps can reduce speeds by as much as 25% to 40%. Studies have shown a marked decrease in the number of accidents and injuries in areas where speed bumps have been installed. These speed calming measures not only safeguard children but also bring peace of mind to parents who worry about their kids' safety as they walk to and from school or play outside.

Waukee, IA, is home to several schools, parks, and residential streets where children are frequently present. Implementing speed bumps in key areas will provide a safer environment and reinforce our community's commitment to protecting our young ones. By making this strategic infrastructural improvement, we can prevent tragic accidents and ensure a high quality of life for everyone.

Your support and signatures are crucial for this cause. Help us make the streets of Waukee, IA, safer for our children by urging local authorities to install speed bumps. Together, we can bring about the changes needed to protect the future of our children.
