(A) The city will prepare and maintain current design standards and installation procedures for speed humps. Application and design of speed humps shall comply with the Institute of Transportation Engineers, Recommended Practice, Guidelines for the Design and Application of Speed Humps. All signage and pavement markings shall comply with the current edition of the MUTCD.
(B) In selecting precise locations for any speed hump installation, the following guidelines shall be followed:
(1) Speed humps shall not be located over manholes, water valves, or whenever possible, within 25 feet of fire hydrants, as they prevent/impede access to these facilities.
(2) Speed humps should be located five to ten feet away from driveways, whenever possible, to minimize their effect on driveway access.
(3) Speed humps should be located on or near property lines, whenever possible, to minimize the impact on access to individual properties.
(4) Speed humps should be located near streetlights, whenever possible, in order to enhance their visibility at night.
(5) Speed humps should be located a minimum distance of 200 feet from corners, whenever possible, and should never be located within a corner radius.
(6) Where speed humps are constructed on streets having curves with less than a 250-foot radius, no speed hump shall be located on the horizontal curve(s).
(7) Speed humps shall be spaced at a minimum interval of 250 feet. Speed humps will be placed no closer than 200 feet from traffic control devices or four-way intersections.
