Let’s talk speed bumps in subdivisions

It would be wise to get approval of at least all the owners that drive that stretch of road, but I think legally any owner can make "improvements" to the shared property that don't infringe on other owners' rights. So you could improve the road by adding a speed bump, and another owner could improve the road by removing a speed bump.

Road 8 in hawaiian acres has tons of speed bumps. Try going down that road going 55 - not gonna work.

And they slow down EMS vehicles.

Speed bumps are a very noisy way to slow down traffic. You really dont want one in front of your house.

Yep 1st you get the sound of squealing worn out brakes,then you get the noise of an air-bound car or truck returning to earth,then you get the exhaust blast.

Not worth it.

An old joke, but still so true -Orchidland doesn't have speed bumps to slow traffic, we have speed holes.

KTA has so many speed bumps (and stop signs) it should be illegal.

The only thing a speed bump slows down is a lowered Honda with a loud exhaust. Trucks with a lift and oversized tires just blaze through, whether it is a bump or a hole. Not worth the time and expanse in my opinion. I would rather install a camera with date and time, repeat offenders on a "routine" get called in as a nuisance for speeding/reckless driving to get a patrol car out at their "regular" time.
