In our neighborhood, my son's beloved puppy was tragically run over and killed by a driver going double the speed limit. This heart-wrenching incident has left our family devastated and has heightened our concern for the safety of our community. We worry that if reckless driving continues, a person might be next.

Our neighborhood is home to a diverse group of individuals including children, elderly people, young adults, and families with pets. We value our walks, our children playing, and the moments spent outdoors in our community. However, the increasing incidents of speeding vehicles threaten this sense of safety and tranquility.

Studies show that speed humps are an effective traffic calming measure, reducing vehicle speeds and subsequently lowering the risk of accidents. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, speed humps can reduce the average speed of vehicles by up to 20% and significantly decrease the chances of accidents and fatalities in residential areas.

By installing speed humps on Mansfield Drive, we can ensure that drivers prioritize safety and abide by the speed limits, ultimately protecting our loved ones and maintaining the peaceful atmosphere we cherish.

We urge our local government and traffic authorities to take immediate action to implement speed humps in our community. Let's work together to make our streets safer for everyone. Please sign this petition to show your support and help us prevent future tragedies.
