We've requested a speed study and it hasn't happened! We are sick of the super speeders going through Shirley Hills. We need humps and a speed change pronto! People speed 20+ over speed limit DAILY. We have children who can't even safely cross into our own neighborhood park. The people of this neighborhood are willing to assist in making this happen! Please help us. Call me anytime for info 478-919-7232

Thank you for using See Click Fix. As per our conversation morning, Monday, October 17th , the study should be completed around November 18, 2016 which is 30 calendar days. Once a decision is reached, you will be contacted. Please see initial criteria below for the f installation of speed calming devices.
Initial Criteria
1. The street under consideration shall be classified as a local, residential street, with a posted speed of 25 mph.
2. The street or section of the street being considered shall be a minimum of 1,000 feet long and a minimum street width of 21 feet; cul-de-sacs will not be considered for speeds tables.
3. The street shall minimum average daily traffic of five hundred (500) vehicles day.
4. The eighty-fifth (85th) percentile is the indicator used to determine the maximum, reasonable speed by performing a traffic study. If the study indicates that the 85th percentile is, at least, 11 miles per hour over the posted 25 mph speed limit, the petition process may begin at 70 percent.
**The 85th percentile speed is the speed is the speed at or below which 85 percent of motorist drive on a given road, unaffected by slower traffic or poor weather. This speed indicates the speed that most motorists on the road consider safe and reasonable under ideal conditions. It is a good guideline for the appropriate speed limit for that road. **
If approved the installation, maintenance, repair, and removal of speed tables must be PRIVATELY FUNDED.

CPrice - I assume Nottingham Drive was designated a "collective street" many years ago, when there was little if any development beyond the immediate Shirley Hills neighborhood. The problems we are experiencing today is due to the increased traffic volume from BEYOND the surrounding residential area. Drivers from Jones Co. and elsewhere, frustrated with traffic conditions on Grey Hwy and it's feeder roads are seeking alternatives to reaching the City of Macon and the interstates. As a result , these drivers are now travelling residential Nottingham Drive at high speeds, after routing through Twin Pines Drive, Jackson Springs Road Boulevard, Curry Road, etc.
The basic premise that 11mph over the posted speed limit on residential is acceptable to Macon-Bibb officials is, at best, ludicrous! This tacit acceptance of speeding in Macon-Bibb has resulted in a frighteningly dangerous situation, both in Shirley Hills and elsewhere - and now the present administration wants to add bicycles to the mix!! Is the county now willing to accept the financial liability that will result when residents are killed by speeders driving, with the county's approval, over the speed limit.
Nottingham Drive, Twin Pines Drive and other neighborhood roads noted in this message trail need to be closed to through traffic from outside the neighborhood, roads such as Nottingham Drive need to be redesignated as a local neighborhood street, the speed limit must decreased to 25mph, and speed calming devices installed.
