Henrico County officials have formally approved the installation of speed bumps and radar feedback signs for Park Terrace Drive. This measure is now slated for the upcoming public works cycle. We are monitoring the project schedule to ensure the implementation stays on track.

Petition for traffic calming measures along Park Terrace Drive, Henrico County VA 23233
Final supporters
Here are some of our proposed traffic calming measures:
1) Speed Bumps placed at several intervals along Park Terrace Drive between Lauderdale Drive and Three Chopt Road
2) Reducing the posted speed limit to 25 MPH with the addition of 2 radar detecting digital signs to immediately urge drivers to adhere to the lower speed limit.
We the undersigned are in full support of either of these measures to help make our community safer. We urge Henrico County to implement these proposed changes in a timely manner. It really is a matter of life and death.

The scale of this response confirms the urgency of the traffic issues on Park Terrace Drive. I am currently coordinating with a transportation engineer to formalize our proposal for the Henrico County planning office.

Our small 10pd dog was hit almost 2 years ago; we feel very lucky that she survived. But, it could have easily ended much worse. The speed should be 25mph.
We cannot even walk our dog safely on our street - as soon as we get to Park Terrace all the speeders zoom through to cut across toward North Gayton as their through-way .... This is no longer a residential neighborhood but rather a passing ground for cars in a busy area and it is quite dangerous for our families.
My children, dog and I have almost been run over several times by drivers that are obviously driving too fast and carelessly through our neighborhood! I would love to see the speed limit reduced. One enticement of this neighborhood is mobility without motorization. I agree with safety measures being made to Park Terrace immediately!
This road has a lot of walkers, many are children walking pets. Additionally, the road is curved, meaning that someone trying to cross can't see around the curve, and sometimes a speedy car is just around the curve. A lower speed limit is certainly warranted for everyone's safety.
Drivers are way too fast through our neighborhood and very dangerous for our children and disabled neighbors. People are flying past busses with our children's safety at risk.
Lower the speed limit!

35 is not a safe speed for this road. It is nearly impossible to cross the road at any point during the day. I live in the first subdivision and people are either inches from my bumper when I turn into the neighborhood or they speed up and pass on the left. Very dangerous!
