Moved: Trustee Gebler Seconded: Trustee Leavy Vote: Unanimous �Village of Sleepy Hollow Speed Hump Policy Purpose of the Program The Village of Sleepy Hollow Residential Speed Hump Program has been established to address certain neighborhood traffic concerns of the residents of Sleepy Hollow. This program was developed based on the experiences of numerous communities throughout the United States as well as documented studies of Speed Humps by the Institute of Transportation Efigineirs, the New York State Department of Transportation and other organizations and agencies. The purpose of this program is to reduce the speed and volume of traffic traveling on residential streets. Although it is realized that each situation is unique, the policies and procedures outlined in this document are t6 be applied uniformly to ensure that the Village's resources are used appropriately. In %ne cases, other traffic calming or engineering measures may be.jpor^ 6r equally-effective in 1 improving safety on a particular street. ' Operational Considerations: ® Speeds between humps have beenobseryed to be reduced between 20 and 25 percent on a v e r a g e . , ; • Speeds typically increase^proxiniajtely O.&friph midway between humps for each 100 feet of separation. « Studies indicate that trafficyolumes have been reduced on average by 18 percent depending on alternative routes available. • Studies indicate that collisions Have been reduced on average by 13 percent on treated streets (not adjusted for traffic diversion). • Possible increase in traffic noise from braking and acceleration of vehicles, particularly buses and trucks. Speed Hump Eligibility Criteria: In order for a roadway to be eligible for speed humps it must meet the following criteria: • Must be a residential street, not a State or Major road; (see definitions) • Must not be a common emergency response route; • The land use fronting street is zoned for residential use; • Installation of speed humps would not divert significant amounts of traffic to other residential streets; • Installation of speed humps does not provide an unreasonable liability or public hazard due to existing roadway conditions that cannot be changed; • Roadway conditions (horizontal and vertical curvature, roadway width and roadway surface) must be acceptable. 1 of 3 �Emergency Response Issues: -Concern over jarring of emergency rescue vehicles. -Approximate delay of between 3 and 5 seconds per speed hump for fire trucks and up to 10 seconds for ambulance with patient In-House Evaluation The first evaluation involves the screening of requested speed hump locations based on street geometric features and functional classification. Should the candidate street not meet these initial criteria, the Village Engineer will deny the request for speed humps. The criteria for this evaluation are: 1. The purpose of the speed hump program is to discourage traffic and speeding on local streets. Accordingly speed humps will not be permitted on any State roads or Major Village roads, (see definitions) 2. The street must be "primarily residential" with at least two-thirds (66%) of the affected street frontage being in Residential zoning districts as defined on the Village's Zoning map. 3. The street width must be less than 40' wide to indicate thestreet is not a wide arterial street. 4. The street must have a grade of 6% or less approabhing the hump location to avoid drainage problems and insure safe vehicle operation^ 5. The street must have no parallel local residential streets. If there are parallel local residential streets, the placement of speed humps could merely shift traffic to the adjacent street(s). If no more than two parallel local residential streets exist, a multi street request may be considered if accompanied by,evidence of support from all streets involved. 'v• r ' 6. The candidate street ,should have a minimum distance of 800 feet between existing stop signs or traffic signals. Streets with many stop controls would already cause the slowing of traffic, although not necessarily slow traffic between the controls. Consideration of Other Factors If the street meets the above requirements, the last evaluation is the consideration of "other" factors which could further support or detract from the candidate site. These criteria include: 1. History of accidents clearly related to speeding 2. Adequate street lighting and drainage 3. Other factors deemed appropriate by the Village Engineer and or DPW head. Temporary Speed Humps: The application process respects the opinions of neighborhood residents. Project areas will be ranked and those obtaining the highest ranking will be placed at the top of the list for temporary speed humps. To aid in providing consensus for the project, the Village will only allow for the installation of permanent asphalt speed humps after temporary, removable, speed humps have been installed on the street for a time period of approximately three months. Temporary speed humps will not be installed or allowed to remain in place during winter months to avoid damage due to snow plowing 2 of 3 �If you think speed is a factor on your street and are interested in participating in the process to apply for speed humps, please follow the instructions below. The following multi-step speed hump procedure is used to approve future speed hump locations in the Village of Sleepy Hollow: Existing Village installed speed humps may not be used as criteria for this policy, o Letter of request o ln-house evaluation of street functional classification and geometric features; • In house Traffic study (collection and evaluation of traffic volume and speed data); 0 Consideration of other factors; and, • Receipt and verification of a 75% petition from impacted block between intersections. • Letter of Request The first step in the speed hump process is to submit a letter requesting speed humps on your street. Please send a letter of request, co-signed by a neighbor, to: Village Clerk Village Hall of Sleepy Hollow 28 Beekman Avenue Sleepy Hollow, NY 10591 > ':,>, Petition > If the above technical factors are met, then citizen Support for the project must be demonstrated through a petition showing 75% support bf occupied properties on the affected street(s). Once a 75% petition has been received ^verified, the request will be ranked against others according to the severity of speeding (i.e., % over the posted speed limit). Those streets ranked highest would be first to receive speed humps as budgeted funds and staff resources permit. Definitions: • • jv;, **" State Roads: « Broadway (route 9) • Bedford Rd.
