Privatizing DC roads?!: Chain Bridge Rd and University Terr

[Anonymous]

attempt to close off their moldy flight corridor, sorry, streets, from the “undesirables” (who btw are most definitely not speeding; you’d be pressed to find 2 cars on these steers at any given time than don’t belong the builders or the landscapers) while resisting every possible traffic calming measure.
Exhibit A for just how petty and harmful these “all or nothing” (see the last slide) oldheads are — bees, bwahaha

This is not overblown. Be a more skeptical reader.

Exactly right.

More speed bumps going up on Cleveland Park streets. How do folks feel about that?

Might as well put them on every street and all get SUVs at this point. They have popped up all over the place in NW this summer. There's only goong to be more of them if people don't say anything.

I’ll say something!

More speed bumps, please!

As we can see, there's a very persistent and vocal minority. Unfortunately they are being listened to.

Excellent!

You realize that speed bumps only encourage drivers to buy cars with higher suspensions?

Why don’t you just slow down instead? Then speed bumps in residential neighborhoods wouldn’t be needed.

Think that through for a minute.

People are already driving slow and cars are safer now than ever before. The truth is that there is no speed that a car would drive at that would satisfy you.

In Montgomery County there are signs next to the speed humps that say 10 mph. That’s sensible, both to increase safety to pedestrians and prevent damage to vehicles.

The way to slow down the SUVs is to build a “neck down” at the speed humps so that 2-way traffic — truck, sedan or SUV — has to slow down in any case.

So another magical fix on top of the previous magical fix in order to fix the problem that was created by the previous magical fix?

The problem created is people driving too fast on residential side streets, which many drivers are using as quick cut-through routes. Apps like Waze have exacerbated the problem in rent years. Speed humps may not be ideal but they are a way to slow down (if not deter) Waze-crazed, fast driving commuters.

What is the evidence for this “problem”?

...and how has it increased over time

All that to object to a beehive that is 22" wide and 16.25" deep?

Do you know the final resolution?

Lol, join us on planet reality. Deaths and injuries from drivers running over pedestrians are at record highs with no signs of abating because cars are only safer than "ever before" for drivers, NOT other road users. Cars on the road are way too big because our nutless government lets the auto makers call the shots at the expense of everyone else's health and welfare.

Record highs? I think you’re the one who doesn’t live in reality. Please educate yourself.

Traffic deaths are not the same thing as pedestrian deaths.

I do feel sorry for your gullibility. I am sure that you read this from someone on the internet but unfortunately it is just not true.

Pedestrian Deaths in DC 2011-2020
2011: 8
2012: 7
2013: 9
2014: 9
2015: 13

Just looking at the last decade, the highest year for number of deaths was 2015. However, the number of pedestrian fatalities is actually pretty constant within defined range. When you normalize for population or vehicles miles travelled however, that is where you see declines.

So again, I beg you to educate yourself and evaluate what you read on the internet before assuming its true or repeating it. There is not a crisis of pedestrian deaths in DC.

Of these how many in NW? Also big fat 0 injuries let alone deaths on these 2 streets.it’s what the headline says: attempt to privatize at your expense

Lowell St got 5 speed humps in 2 blocks. People use the street to go between Wisconsin & Reno. Won’t speed humps just send the traffic to some other street?
