**Petition Against SPEED BUMPS on Lake Carlton Road in Loganville, GA**

Attention,

Residents of Lake Carlton Road! As many of you are aware, we have finally seen the removal of those dreaded speed bumps and the new paving of our road. While we relish this upgrade, we must not forget the toll those old speed bumps have taken on our vehicles over the course of years.

Below are some critical points highlighting the damaging effects of speed bumps that we can no longer ignore.

**Impact on Steering:**

Navigating over speed bumps can wreak havoc on your steering system components. The constant jarring can lead to expensive misalignment Issues and damage vital steering components such as tie rod ends and ball joints.

Why should we allow our vehicles to suffer needlessly?

**Damage to Suspension:**

Our vehicles' suspension systems are also at risk due to speed bumps. The stress inflicted on your shock absorbers and struts can lead to significant repair costs—unnecessary expenses that arise solely because of speed bumps. Let’s face it:

The rising cost of Auto parts are already financially burdensome, and we shouldn’t have to shoulder additional costs due to newly placed speed control devices.

**Tax Implications:**

To make matters worse, homeowners on Lake Carlton Road is unknowingly footing the bill for these speed bumps in your yearly taxes. If you rent your home, this still includes you because the landlord or rental company just pushes the bill into your lease.

Next time you review your tax statement, you may notice an additional $8-12 annually, simply because of the presence of speed bumps on our street. This is an unjust financial drain that we must collectively oppose!

**Take a Stand: Say NO TO SPEED BUMPS ON LAKE CARLTON RD!**

This petition will be submitted to the GA DOT construction team, who is in touch with the contractors who install the speed bumps. This will also be submitted to the county as well.

Say NO to speed bumps for Lake Carlton Road and a commitment to better road design. Let’s ensure that our voices are heard and that we protect our vehicles, our finances, and our community’s quality of life.

Thank you for supporting our cause and keeping speed bumps out of our neighborhood! Together, we can make a difference!
