School zones have been equipped with speed limits, signs and safe cross walks.
I’ve noticed that not every school zone has speed bumps. Speed bumps should be placed in Elgin district school zones. Speed bumps were originally developed in Great Britain. In 1979 the US started testing speed bumps and today they are used in all of the US (CTRE). A speed bump is a raised ridge on the road that is used to make vehicle drivers slow down. Speed bumps should be installed in all school zones in the Elgin district for children’s safety.
The opposing view would argue that installation of speed bumps is expensive and the additional cost would be added to an increase in taxes. There are also other cost factors when a speed bump is installed like maintenance, alterations and removal. One of most common and legitimate reasons not to place down speed bumps is the fact that these “traffic calming” devices slow down emergency response time for ambulances, police cars, and fire trucks. Another argumentative point is speed bumps can cause car damage since they sit too close to the ground. Other views would point that instead of reducing accidents they would increase if another vehicle is following too closely and a driver that is not familiar with the neighborhood suddenly breaks causing a collision.
With that said I still don’t think it’s enough to keep speed bumps away from school zones. Installation of speed bumps in schools zones will make it safer for children and school staff. They provide safety and awareness. Those kids walking along the sidewalk are vulnerable; they have the trust that every vehicle will yield for them. Parents can feel more secure about their children walking or riding their bikes to school ("School Zone Improvements”).
