Abstract

This article describes the experiences of Troy, Michigan in dealing with complaints of speeding on residential streets over the past decade. Comparisons of 1975 speed study and observance study results with 1985 and 1986 results at the same locations are included. The nature of the problem is described, and the ineffectiveness of stop signs is noted. It is noted that the neighborhood itself must take some responsibility for the solution. A majority of the violations are by residents of the neighborhood. Residents can address the problem by increasing the awareness of the problem in the neighborhood, and by assisting the police. Troy has a committee of citizens appointed to advise the City Council on proposed traffic regulations. This citizen involvement is important because it allows objectivity before a political decision is made.
