I agree that speeding is a problem on Broadway Terrace. A bigger problem, in my opinion, is people not staying in their lane and parked vehicles protruding into the road. I would support posting speed limit signs, but I think speed bumps would be a very bad idea. Broadway Terrace is difficult enough to negotiate, what with cars, overgrown bushes and trees extending into the roadway, potholes and other road defects jarring vehicles and/or causing people to swerve to avoid them. An additional impediment like a speed bump, would, in my opinion, just make driving on Broadway Terrace even more difficult. I also note that the person who posted this is located at the lower part of Broadway Terrace and therefore may not be familiar with the challenges presented to drivers as the road continues up the hillside, where loss of control of one's vehicle could lead to a deadly plummet over the side.

I agree with Sean F. I think speed is less of a factor and narrow streets with overgrown bushes/trees and cars parked halfway in the street is the problem. I also live above the original poster and disagree with speed bumps. Instead there should be enforcement on Broadway Terrace for owners to cut their bushes/trees back further so everyone can stay in their own lane which tends to be worse on the lower half of Broadway Terrace.
