I have been frustrated with the recent addition of speed humps on our local freeway, which has significantly disrupted the flow of traffic. This public freeway is not constructed for pedestrian crossings but is meant to facilitate a fast and efficient movement of vehicles. The introduction of speed humps, while intended to enhance safety, has inadvertently caused increased congestion, longer travel times, and unnecessary frustration for daily commuters.

It's crucial to address the safety of pedestrians, but installing pedestrian bridges is a more effective and efficient solution than speed humps. Pedestrian bridges offer a safe, dedicated crossing for foot traffic, allowing them to cross without hindering vehicle flow. This approach ensures the freeway remains an effective route for vehicular travel while respecting the safety and convenience of pedestrians.

Moreover, pedestrian bridges are a long-term investment in infrastructure, providing a sustainable solution that reduces accident risks while maintaining the freeway's original purpose. By allocating resources to build these bridges, we can reduce congestion, lower fuel emissions from idling cars, and enhance the overall flow of traffic.

I urge our local government and transportation authorities to reconsider their strategy and prioritize the construction of pedestrian bridges. This change will not only improve the commuter experience but will also ensure the safety of all road users.

Join me in advocating for a future where pedestrians and vehicles coexist safely and efficiently on our freeways. Please sign this petition to support the call for pedestrian bridges instead of speed humps on our freeway. Your support can drive the change we need to see in our community.
