Anyone know what caused the need for the speed bumps or "traffic cushions" on Marion just installed this week?

Yes, there has been complaints from people that live on the streets that intersect Marion at the base of the bridge on both sides. They took it to the council and they acted on it. As it is now I don't see where this will help, maybe if they put them on both sides at the base it may help. As it is now the cars and trucks just hit the gas and keep on speeding over the bridge down the other side, making it worse for people trying to turn on Marion.


I have seen a few cars go onto the grass( to avoid having all tires on hump) and almost hit the new sign they installed next to the hump on the west side next to Belaire.

I suppose I kinda understand...but it is unsightly and a pita going over those things...and now those people have multiple signs in their yard warning about the speed limit of 15 and that the "cushions" are there.

And agreed it almost would make more sense to have them at the base of the bridge AFTER you go over it..rather than before.
