"A driver's speed can mean the difference between life and death in a crash, so these speed humps will help protect everyone who shares our streets."
"I think it's a great idea... There's a lot more cars on the street, and the infrastructure really wasn't built for it."
In Westerleigh, Staten Island, three speed humps were installed on Westcott Boulevard to reduce traffic speeds and increase safety for residents. The initiative by the Department of Transportation was prompted by studies indicating high average speeds on the road, which previously lacked features to slow vehicles. Local residents, like Jean O'Driscoll and Brian Laffey, supported the changes, noting long-standing speeding issues. The modifications are seen as essential due to a growing population and increasing vehicular traffic in the area.
