Some of the rules, some councilors now say, may be too strict.
“If you’ve got a speeding problem, you’ve got a speeding problem,” said District 5 Councilman Kip Tyner.
In 2011, the City Council signed off on a number of updated standards that must be met before city engineers would agree to install a new speed table.
These changes required residents seeking them to obtain signatures from 70% of their neighbors agreeing that the speed tables were wanted.
It also limited them to streets with speed limits of 30 mph or less, while requiring that at least 60% of vehicles driving in the requested area must exceed this speed limit and, of these speeders, at least 15% must exceed the speed limit by 10 mph or more.
