This map shows existing stop signs, trffic circles, speed humps etc. Any future changes must be vetted by TDOT and some must be funded by JPNA
TRAFFIC PROJECTS UPDATE
Mountain Avenue and Speed tables - Rejected - The originally proposed sites for speed tables have been cancelled by Department of Transportation "Bottom line the Mountain Speed tables have been rejected by the city. They do not allow speed humps on inverted roads. Mountain is an inverted road from Grant to Speedway. They are designed to be urban washes and convey lots of stormwater. . ."
Reduction in speed limit accomplished. pedestrian signs installed per JP request
The International School and speed humps - Three speed humps and signage was recommended by DTM, Jesse Soto. Ward III pledged one, IST pledged one and JPNA pledged one. All are accomplished.
Speed humps - Seneca near Tyndall-installed
Traffic raffic circle - Santa Rita/Seneca traffic circle Currently in process
BE AWARE certain traffic mitigations require that the neighborhood requesting them finance them. Latest cost projection is $5,000 per hump, $11,000 per speed table. All proposals must pass the Dept of Transportation requirements.

UA STUDY OF MOUNTAIN AVE SAFETY:
UA memo of Mountain Ave Safety: This memo was written by UA professor Joey Iuliano and his students at the U of A following a 2020 traffic safety study of Mountain Avenue. It is important to note that since this memo the Department of Transportation has declared that, though the road is a path for emergency vehicles, speed tables are allowed. DTM had suggested five tables which are no longer an option.
