I live in a one block gated community, and for 2 years the HOA attempted to address the complaints of some very vocal members who campaigned for installing 4 sets of speed bumps on our street. The speed limit posted at the entrance gate is 15 mph. First, the HOA sent out a survey and found a majority did not want speed bumps. The vocal minority demanded more action. So the HOA paid for 2 sets of speed strips set in place for 1 or 2 weeks and took an average of the speeds. The average speed was 17 mph, and the HOA dropped the issue. Now I admit, whenever I passed over the speed strips, I slowed waaay down to decrease the average. I really did not want speed bumps.
The vocal minority continued to express outrage. So the HOA posted really big speed limit signs on every lamp post on our street (about 8 signs). I admit the signs did help me to check my speed and probably did help.
I don't understand. How can a "one block" community have traffic issues?
