"Locust (Avenue) is classified as a collector road, which means the city prefers not to install stop signs or speed humps. The city is working on alternatives that could include painting new parking spaces, installing planters or narrowing lanes." The road by (unintentional) design seems promotes higher traffic speeds by having few impediments; it is also intersects a highway (BVP 250 via Google Maps), which I suspect could influence drivers near the highway to be increasing speeds or maintaining speeds they had while on the highway. I'd like to know where the speeding is occurring in relation to proximity to the highway. This made me want to explore how speed limits are set. I found this "Methods and Practices for Setting Speed Limits: An Informational Report" by the U.S. Department of Transportation: Federal Highway Administration. - http://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/speedmgt/ref_mats/fhwasa12004/ http://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/speedmgt/ref_mats/fhwasa12004/ - http://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/speedmgt/ref_mats/fhwasa12004/fhwasa12004.pdf http://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/speedmgt/ref_mats/fhwasa12004/fhw...
