SPEED HUMP REQUEST PROCEDURES

1. There should be concern within the neighborhood regarding a problem along street segment such as considerable speeding or a substantial amount of “cut through” non-neighborhood traffic.

2. Identify the specific street segment of concern such as X Street between Street Y and Z Street. It is better to identify a specific street where there is a concern as opposed to requesting a speed hump study for every street in a neighborhood.

3. It is desirable that a request for a speed hump study be from a neighborhood association or group. However, if one does not exist, requests for studies will be accepted from individuals.

4. Any speed hump study request should be made in writing to:

Township Engineer
Township of Franklin
475 DeMott Lane
Somerset, NJ 08873 08873

5. Written requests for speed hump studies will be addressed in the order they are received.

6. Street segments that do not meet criteria contained in the Speed Hump Installation Policy will be rejected. Street segments that do meet the criteria must be approved by at least 75 percent of the residences within an identified impact area. Approved street segments will be placed on a list for installation of speed humps. The speed humps will be installed as funding is available.
