(A) Removing a speed hump may be considered when the criteria listed below are met:
(1) It is shown that a speed hump is ineffective in reducing the speed of vehicles, based on a speed survey conducted for a minimum period of 72 hours. A speed hump shall be deemed ineffective in reducing speed if the 85th percentile and the average speed from such survey are both less than two mph lower than the 85th percentile and average speed reflected in the original speed survey conducted for the installation of the speed hump;
(2) It is shown that a speed hump is ineffective in reducing the volume of vehicles based on an ADT count. A speed hump shall be deemed ineffective in reducing traffic volumes if the ADT is reduced by less than 10% from the street's ADT count performed as part of the installation of speed hump; and
(3) There is a petition in favor of removing the speed hump signed by not less than two-thirds of the residents/owners who would otherwise be entitled to vote on the installation of the speed hump.
(B) Removing a speed hump that has been installed for less than two years will only be considered if the city is compensated by those requesting its removal for the full cost of removing the speed hump, including costs of design, construction, inspection, signage and administration.
