You may remember more than a year ago, Trey attended a town meeting for Old Aberdeen. Among other things the traffic situation on our street (Orchard Road) and the ones surrounding the University (College Bounds and University Road) was discussed. The parking situation was one issue, but of more significant consequence was the speed with which cars careen down these little streets. I had no confidence anything would be done. Oh ye of little faith, for just a few weeks ago workers began installing speed bumps on our street to slow the progress of would-be racers.
They've also installed new speed limit signs on the street, 20mph.
These bumps at the entrance to University rode have taken more than a few motorists by surprise. They fly around the corner only to be forced to throw on their breaks. I love it!

I just noticed these on Tuesday, and I was quite pleased. As a pedestrian, sometimes crossing University Road can be a bit like playing Frogger... these should help a bit! Although I did see at least one car steering himself down the middle of the road to hit the low spots in-between and not have to slow down much....
