by Erin W9 I love this idea. The city seems to have random rules for which streets qualify for speed bumps/humps or other traffic controls. My street runs east/west and connects 7th St. with 3rd St. so it becomes very congested during rush hour and drivers are not respectful of the fact that it is a residential street. For some reason, our street does not qualify for speed bumps even though other east/west streets in our area do. Because of our location, I do accept a certain amount of extra traffic-- it's just part of the lifestyle of living in Central Phoenix-- but the issue is that driving behaviors go unmonitored and unenforced. Either extra enforcement or a more universal traffic control system in our historic neighborhoods would definitely add more appreciation for them. With some traffic control, maybe people would slow down and take a look at the character and history these homes offer our city rather than speeding past them!

by Ardyce E Streets and sidewalks are the property of the city and are for the use of everyone. It seems that many people believe that they have a right to control the traffic in front of their property. As I see it, this is privatizing of public property. I'd like to see the cit attorney's opinion on this issue.

by VonGoblin I actually cut through neighborhoods all the time. I'm not speeding or driving recklessly; I'm usually just taking a short cut. If speeding and reckless driving are the issue then enforcement is the answer not restricting use on public streets and road. This was a contentious issue in other cities that I've lived in but cutting through neighborhoods takes a traffic off already congested streets.
