The Town has adopted a traffic calming policy. It was prepared by the Town's Public Works coordinator, Mark Johnson. The policy is here.
One element of the policy is posting 25 mph speed limits. If the speed limit is not posted, it is 30 mph. However, at neighborhood request, the Town will post speed limit signs in residential neighborhoods. Many of our neighborhood streets belong to SCDOT, and it will require their permission.
There is also a procedure for putting speed humps on streets. The key requirement is strong support in the neighborhood, but speed humps are expensive and so the Town can only afford a limited number each year.
For more information, contact Town Hall and speak to Mark Johnson.
Sure would like one on Brigantine Drive.
ReplyDeleteWe can pursue that. Contact the Lighthouse Point Civic Club to start. We will need SCDOT permission.
DeleteWhat I was requesting was a Speed Limit Sign. Some of our Good people think Brigantine is a Race Track.
DeleteBill - the policy document link appears to be a blank document...
