West Seattle streets to get more speed cushions, humps in latest bid to curb street racing

Efforts are underway to reconfigure several major thoroughfares in West Seattle to cut down on street racing and other dangerous driving.

Speed humps and other traffic-calming measures will soon be installed along Harbor Ave SW, Alki Ave SW, and 56th Ave SW. The design phase has concluded and the work to install concrete speed cushions can begin.

Seattle Department of Transportation plans to nearly double the number of existing speed bumps already in place.

Speed bumps only serve to annoy law abiding drivers and make noise for residents.

[RonBurgandy-oz]

How about fixing the fucking potholes first??

[micbroc]

Whatever you do be sure to not punish the people who are actually being dangerous behind the wheel of their cars.

[janncoons]

Sure make all of us miserable because of a handful of petulant unruly children not being parented and inept incompetent law enforcement.

[HeretheComments]

Disgusting people ruin things for law abiding people

[Eric-nq]

As a cyclist and a local what a waste of taxpayers money with needs to happen is fix the police department first then put more officers on the road and give out stiffer penalties like impounding cars and heavy tickets

[oscarcoreocontreras]

This is a joke on people, wanna stop it? Give give big fines, and tow cars away. What a joke

[Idontcare-gn]

Thanks for ruining the car scene while also ruining the roads for everyone

10:25 pm on a Wednesday. People racing up and down California near the admiral district. Down admiral and on Alki engines revving its constant and out of control. No one does anything meaning the police

[WalkiTalki]

When this area was cool they would site people for cruising too slowly. Now their driving too fast.

[VincentMcmanus.]

Am I the only one who's confused by them referring to speed bumps as "humps"?
I can't be the only one.
I've lived my entire 36 years of life in Washington state, and it wasn't until today that I had EVER heard anyone call them "humps".

[SlipperyRage]

Focus on filling pot holes and cracks, not speed bumps.

[ScaryNda]

in other words they are gonna use your money to destroy ur cars lmao

[parmahmac]

Speeding in Rainier Beach is out of control.

[Energine]

The "leadership" in this city is absolutely, mind numbingly, ignorant. Time to vote republican and stop expecting these idiots to turn into them.
