Speed Bump on Brighton Ave ( East Orange) Between Dodd st and Fair St.
Speed Bump on Brighton Ave ( East Orange) Between Dodd st and Fair St.
The Issue
This section of Brighton Avenue is located in a family-oriented residential neighborhood, where children frequently play, ride bicycles, and walk with their families. Despite this, vehicles regularly travel at dangerously high speeds, disregarding posted limits and creating a serious risk to pedestrians, cyclists, and residents.
The current situation presents several dangers:
Risk to Children and Families: With many families living in this area, children are often outside. Speeding vehicles significantly increase the risk of accidents and severe injury.
Pedestrian Safety Concerns: Residents walking pets, crossing the street, or simply enjoying the neighborhood are placed in constant danger by fast-moving traffic.
Lack of Traffic Control Measures: There are currently insufficient deterrents to prevent speeding, allowing drivers to continue unsafe behavior.
Near Miss Incidents: Many residents have witnessed or experienced close calls, which highlight the urgent need for intervention before a serious accident occurs.
We strongly believe that installing a speed bump will:
Reduce vehicle speeds
Improve overall road safety
Protect children and pedestrians
Enhance the quality of life for residents
This preventive measure is both practical and necessary to ensure the well-being of everyone in our community.
We urge the city to prioritize this request and take immediate action before a preventable tragedy occurs.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.
