of the Township Engineer and/or Police Department:
(1) The street must be located within, and
be wholly contained within, the Township of Winslow and must be under
the control of the Township.
(2) The street must be a local street or a
minor residential collector.

(6) The street shall have a regulatory speed
limit of thirty (30) m.p.h. or less as determined in accordance with
Township ordinances.
(7) The daily vehicular traffic on the subject street, as determined by the investigation of the Police Department pursuant to Section
276-55B(1) of this chapter, must be less than three thousand (3,000) vehicles per day.

appropriate Board of Fire Commissioners and the primary first aid
squad have reviewed the proposed speed hump installation packet and

The process for speed hump alteration
or removal requested by the residents is the same as the process for
installation. A petition documenting that at least seventy-five percent
(75%) of all households adjacent to the speed hump street are in favor
of the speed hump removal will be required. In such case, and at the
discretion of the governing body, the cost of removal may be borne
by the property owners via local assessment. In the event the Township
determines that an unforeseen problem exists due to the humps, it
may be redesigned or removed by the Township. In such case, the Township
will bear the full cost of speed hump removal.
In cases, deemed appropriate by the
Township Engineer, portable speed humps may be installed on a temporary
basis.
