Hi All,

I assume that speed bumps will be discussed at the Board meeting in June. Unfortunately, Sharon and I can’t attend as we’ll be out of state, but I’ll put in my 2 cents worth of discussion.

Our HOA in California has been dealing with the issue of speed bump/humps for years. They are unpopular with many people. Recently there was a proposal to install one on a specific street. The Board asked the residents on the street to vote, and of the 17 household on the street, 12 voted no. That was the end of that.

Personally, I think they are a good idea so long as they are properly designed for the situation.? It’s taken our HOA years to work that out.? The first two versions of speed bumps were installed and then removed because they were just too hard of “bumps”, even at our speed limit of 15 mph.

Photos of the third version, speed humps, are attached. I think these are pretty good and effective. ?They are only about 2 inches high, maybe less, and they are fine to cross at the speed limit of 15 mph, but you don’t want to cross them faster than that.

Obviously, a number of questions must be addressed regarding installing speed bumps/humps on Paseo Venado. To me, one of the key questions is what speed should the bump/hump be designed for? If designed for less than the 25 mph speed limit, what liability issues might we be creating?
