Unfortunately, Atlanta ended up banning these on the 1 in 10000 chance that
someone else was driving your car.....seems like if you trust someone to
drive your care, you should trust them to pay the fine

I need to watch my speed. Even with rentals they manage to find me. Nowhere
to run or hide. Just a thought.
Rich blessings and peace ...

I think due to the pandemic you have people who have extra time to enjoy
their toys. I have noticed an extreme increase of racing and speeding
noises late into the night. Most of which comes from 1-20, 75/85, Freedom
Pkwy with the motorcycles racing and the other portion is Highland Ave
Speeders.
Speed humps would definitely cut down on the speedsters that zoom down the
street late into the night.I don't see how speed humps would be an
inconvenience.
Another alternative is possibly those round bubble like markers which are
usually just before a cross street or railroad crossing. Those don't
neccesarily reduce speed but it would alert them to slow down. IDK just
throwing out alternative options.
Do cameras really work? Would the cameras be speed reading cameras?
Cameras would take longer to have an effect on the racing on highland ave.
(Think: the city would have to mail a ticket which takes a few weeks. If
that person's car isn't registered to a current address they won't even
know that they have a ticket.)

How about lobbying for a camera at the corner of Highland and Jackson or
elsewhere along the speedway?

Hi Stephen,
Thank you for raising this. I have noticed the issue but I don't support
adding speed bumps to the road. It would be an inconvenience to all the
responsible drivers. Are there any other options? Can we bring attention of
the police to this, maybe a few speeding tickets may solve the problem.

Hello!
To all of my neighbors in the 100-200-300 buildings, I have no doubt that
you have recently noticed the increase in the speed demons racing down
Highland Ave late into the night. I have done a little research (
https://www.trafficsafetystore.com/resources/how-to-get-speed-humps) and
found that speed humps are not very expensive. While I think we may face
some obstacles requesting approval for speed control devices heading East
towards Atlanta Medical Center from downtown, I think we have a reasonable
case for proposing an installation on the West-bound side of Highland
Avenue between Jackson and Hilliard.
Please let me know your thoughts and if you would be willing to help
out with this project.
Thanks
