Speed Bumps
By Brandon Marley
There is a problem on campus, that hardly any students
know or care about. That problem is speeding', there is a lot
of that going on around campus. Since the security officers
on campus can t catch or stop everyone that speeds on cam
pus, 1 have a suggestion that may help. I think the college
should look at putting speed bumps around the campus.
Speed bumps would slow down speeds by forcing the vehi
cle to slow down or stop to go over one of them. There are
places around campus that speed bumps could be used to
slow down vehicles. One place is the Student and Learning
Resources Building. Students go through the parking lot
faster than they should. Once they clear the parking lot and
go by the outside of the library, they definitely go over the
normal speed limit that we have here on campus. We could
use a couple of speed bumps in the parking lot to reduce the
speeding there.
Another place that could use some speed bumps is the road
to the Technical Arts Building. That curve that we all have
to go through, you know the one with the orange posts that
has the word slow on them. Well, 1 know those were put
there for a purpose, but they aren’t working very well by
themselves. We need speed bumps there before an accident
or something worse happens that could endanger a student or
others.
To my knowledge there are only speed bumps out around the
Tennis Courts, but no where else on campus. The little or
ange posts and stop signs are not slowing down campus traf
fic and speeding around certain parts of campus continues to
be a problem. Students will not begin obeying the 15 mph
speed limit around campus until speed bumps are installed.
