As a concerned parent of young children, our safety is constantly threatened by high-speed motorists in our neighborhood. Several times, we've feared accidents while simply attempting to back out of our driveway—a fear no family should live with. Prompt action is necessary to safeguard the serenity and security of our neighborhood.

Statistically, a pedestrian struck by a vehicle traveling at 30mph has a 40% chance of sustaining severe, potentially life-threatening injuries. This percentage increases dramatically as speeds rise above this (source: NACTO, 2014). By reducing the speed limit and introducing speed bumps on our street, we significantly decrease these worrisome odds.

Moreover, an AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety study found that speed humps result in a 40-60% reduction in the number of vehicles traveling over the desired speed limit. By implementing these physical traffic calming measures, we can make a substantial difference in the safety of our roadways.

Let's prioritize our neighborhood's safety and tranquility and make the necessary changes before a tragic incident unfolds. Sign this petition to call on our local government to lower the speed limit and install speed bumps on our public road.
