Thank you for your concern regarding speeding on your street and your request for a speed limit sign. While we understand and share your interest in promoting safety, it's important to note that speed limit signs alone typically do not result in slower traffic speeds, especially on low-volume roads. Drivers generally adjust their speed based on road design and conditions rather than signage alone. Instead, we encourage you to consider participating in the Resident-Led Traffic Calming Program, which offers more effective, long-term solutions such as speed humps. The program operates on a yearly grant cycle, with applications opening each January. You can learn more about the program here: https://www.bloomington.in.gov/tcgp. If you would like to be notified when the program opens for applications, you can sign up here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdXC9K68fSup2fpLx1nCNLpXO9fNJ49_Z7Vx3GwObep4sAEqQ/viewform for further details on how the program works and what to expect, please feel free to reach out the program manager Hank Duncan at hank.duncan@bloomington.in.gov
