Speed Humps: Great for SUV's
The City Council approved a measure Tuesday that would bring the raised crosswalks — which essentially will act as speed humps — to the intersection of Edgewood Road and 53rd Avenue and speed humps on a stretch of Edgewood Road between 52nd Place and 53rd Avenue.
City staff, which conducted several traffic studies in the Edgewood Road area since the summer, determined speeding was not a problem but stop sign noncompliance was consistent.
In a letter submitted to the city, Lourene Miovski, a 53rd Avenue resident, said she was almost hit by a speeding SUV on 53rd Avenue.
‘‘[The driver] slowed down when approaching the sign, but then sped up before she reached it,” Miovski said in the letter. ‘‘Obviously, the stop sign is not enough to get some people to stop. ... Speed humps are the only way to force vehicles to slow down.”
Ahh...SUVs: the man-made male enhancement. They're enjoyable for bring the machismo in you...until you get wrecked or crash into another person.
