The newly installed speed bump on Key Peninsula by Pierce County has raised significant concerns among local residents and businesses. This infrastructural change, which was never voted on by the community, is seen as more of a hindrance than a help. Located inconveniently, the speed bump has quickly turned into a safety hazard for all vehicles navigating this road.

Local residents and business owners have reportedly faced difficulties, especially during peak traffic hours. The speed bump not only causes frustration and delays but poses an increased risk of accidents. For businesses that rely on smooth access for deliveries or customer visits, this disruption has economic implications too.

More alarmingly, the speed bump can impede emergency vehicles. In situations where every second counts, slowing down for a speed bump can delay crucial response times, potentially putting lives at risk. The ability of emergency services to respond promptly is non-negotiable, making this an urgent issue that needs immediate addressing.

We urge Pierce County officials to remove the placement of this speed bump and engage with residents to explore alternative traffic calming measures that do not compromise safety or accessibility.
