Make South Charleston safer by adding modern low profile speed humps throughout!
The Issue
I've lived in South Charleston for the past three years, and during this time I've witnessed countless cars speeding down Central Avenue. It's a place where our children play, our families live, and we build our lives, yet drivers act as if there are no consequences. Speeding is rampant, especially in the mornings and at night and this has made our community's streets unsafe and unacceptable.
Speeding traffic is a constant threat to our safety, and as residents, we deserve better. The implementation of modern low-profile speed humps is a practical solution that can address these issues. Unlike traditional speed bumps, the modern low-profile humps effectively slow down vehicles without causing discomfort to drivers. These humps are designed to be safe for all vehicles, including emergency and service vehicles, discouraging dangerous speeding habits comprehensively and without major disruptions.
Other communities have successfully used these modern humps, resulting in decreased traffic speeds, fewer accidents, and improved safety for both pedestrians and drivers. For instance, cities like Portland and Charlotte reported significant reductions in speed-related incidents after adopting this technology. As residents of South Charleston, we have the responsibility to advocate for these changes and ensure our roads are safer for everyone.
I urge the local government and city planners to take immediate action. By installing modern low-profile speed humps throughout residential areas in the city, we can transform our neighborhood into a safer, more secure place for both pedestrians and drivers. Central avenues, south street, Glendale Avenue, Valley drive, etc.
Please join me in urging our city officials to listen to the voices of their constituents. We need to prioritize safety and act now before a preventable tragedy occurs. Sign this petition to demand the implementation of modern low-profile speed humps throughout South Charleston. Together, we can make a significant difference by reducing speed and ensuring the safety of our community's streets.
