At the General Meeting concern was expressed about speeding on Skiles and Pavilion Street. We forwarded a request to the Department of Street Services to have a mobile speed monitoring sign installed. Before installing a mobile speed monitoring sign, a traffic study is conducted to determine if vehicle speeds warrant the installation.
We received the results of this traffic study from the Assistant Director and City Traffic Engineer for the City of Dallas, which are as follows:
On Pavilion Street, staff measured the speed of 751 vehicles over a 24‐hour period and the results of the study showed only 28 vehicles were traveling above the speed limit. At the same time, the speed of 1061 vehicles was measured on Skiles Street and the results showed there were no vehicles exceeding the speed limit.
Based on these results, the installion of a mobile speed monitoring sign was not approved. While it is somewhat comforting to know that vast majority of drivers are maintaining the speed limit, we encourage residents to keep us informed of further traffic safety concerns.
