This document is a revision of the “Speed Control in Residential Areas” booklet original written by the Residential Area Speed Control Ad-Hoc Committee. This revision represents the latest information and findings of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Michigan Section’s Technical Project Committee. Speeding on local streets is probably the most persistent problem facing residents and traffic officials. Residents' complaints are usually accompanied by a proposed solution: stop signs. This booklet provides alternatives that may help decrease speeds on residential streets. It discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each alternative. Residents and local officials must work together with a full understanding of each other's problems, limitations and concerns for the common goal of safety on residential streets. One of the best ways to accomplish this is to have citizens involved in standing or ad hoc community traffic safety committees. (Author/publisher)
