(A) Changing the location or adding additional speed humps on a street may be considered when all of the criteria listed below are met.
(1) (a) For Residential Areas: Speed humps are ineffective in reducing speeds of vehicles based on speed survey conducted for a twenty-four-hour (24) period. If less than thirty (30) cars are observed in one (1) hour, the survey shall be one and one-half (1 1/2) hours in length. The average speeds must each be less than two (2) mph lower than those speeds demonstrated prior to the installation of speed humps in order to be considered ineffective.
(b) For Bypass Locations: Speed humps are ineffective in reducing the volume of vehicles, based on an average daily traffic (ADT) count. Traffic volumes must be reduced by less than ten (10) percent from the street's ADT count prior to the installation of speed humps in order to be considered ineffective.
(2) Speed humps were placed in a location conflicting with the adopted guidelines, and another location exists which does not conflict with the adopted guidelines.
(3) There is a petition with a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the street's residents in favor of the speed humps relocation. One (1) resident signature per household having driveway access onto the street in question is allowed; a resident may be either an owner or tenant.
(B) Relocation of speed humps which have been installed for less than two (2) years will only be considered if the city is compensated by those requesting speed hump relocation for the full cost of relocating the speed humps, including design, construction, inspection, and administration.
