The use of speed humps on city streets serves to reduce vehicular speeds as well as reduce cut-through traffic on local residential city streets. Both of these effects are realized when speed humps are installed on a city street. The application of speed humps is limited to city streets where geometric configuration or design fails to passively deter many drivers from exceeding the speed limit or from using streets as bypass routes. The proper application of speed humps enhances public safety. The city hereby adopts this subchapter in order to utilize speed humps as part of its traffic laws to control traffic and increase the safety of its citizens at and along its city streets. All speed humps will be governed by the provisions set forth herein.
