ROSEMEAD TRAFFIC COMMISSION
FROM: JOANNE ITAGAKI, DEPUTY TRAFFIC ENGINEERIP
DATE: DECEMBER 20, 1995
RE: REVISION NO. 2 - DRAFT SPEED HUMP FLYER
DISCUSSION
Attached is REVISION NO. 2 of the DRAFT speed hump flyer. As discussed at our
December meeting, two revisions have been made to the flyer. These revisions include
a sentence under "What are Speed Humps?" and a sentence under "Will the City of
Rosemead use Speed Humps?".
The following is the draft wording and the revised wording for your reference:
WHAT ARE SPEED HUMPS?
DRAFT Speed humps are designed so that the occupants of a vehicle don't
get thrown about when going over the hump, however, there is no
mistake about having crossed from one side of the speed hump to
the other.
REV. NO. 2 Speed humps are placed across a roadway to encourage vehicles
to slow down as they pass over them. They are intended to allow a
vehicle to pass over at a reasonable speed, but would create an
uncomfortable jarring if crossed too quickly.
WILL THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD USE SPEED HUMPS?
DRAFT Although many cities have installed speed humps on public streets,
REV. NO. 2 Although some cities have installed speed humps on public streets,
Please review and comment on REVISION NO. 2 of the DRAFT flyer.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended the Traffic Commission approve REVISION NO. 2 of the DRAFT
speed hump flyer. Upon approval, it will be submitted to the City Council for final
approval. Once Council has approved the flyer, the flyers will then be distributed by staff
as needed
