Frequently Asked Questions

Q:Will this effect emergency vehciles? Snow removal?

A: Studies show that speed humps add 3-10 seconds to emergency response times. Since the speed humps are designed and installed by VDOT, they are built to be compatable with snow removal.

Q: What is the longevity of the speed hump?

A: They are built to hold up as long as the road surface does. Given the conditions of the affected roads in Jefferson Manor, 10 years is a good guideline.

Q: How much does the project cost? Who is paying?

A: Speed humps cost roughly $7000 per unit. With the striping, the project is estimated to cost $25,000. This money comes from the county, via VDOT
