The city is adding the traffic calming measures at 50 high-risk intersections.
Kansas City is adding 100 new speed bumps to 50 sites in residential neighborhoods around the city to slow dangerously fast traffic.
According to an article by Robert A. Cronkleton in the Kansas City Star, “The speed humps are in response to traffic calming requests submitted through the city’s 311 system. The installation of the speed humps at the selected locations has already began, and is being coordinated with the city’s street resurfacing schedule.” The action is part of the city’s Vision Zero initiative, which aims to eliminate traffic deaths and serious injuries by 2030.
The locations were selected based on their proximity to high-injury road segments, schools and their classification as a U.S. Department of Transportation Equitable Transportation Community.
