The City of Tempe Transportation Division of the Public Works Department and the Police Department have a program that will help reduce neighborhood speeding problems. This is to describe how it works. The Neighborhood Speed Alert Program is a citizen friendly activity that allows identification of and warning to speed violators on local streets without the negative aspect of citing them, unless they flagrantly ignore the warnings.
Most citizens appreciate the friendly warning without receiving a citation.
This type of program is a relatively new approach for residential streets. The program is activated in a specific neighborhood by the Neighborhood's Association. The number of neighborhood volunteers available will determine the length of time needed to do the collection. If they need assistance they can contact the City of Tempe Transportation Division and we will assist them in collecting data. The Neighborhood Association will assign a contact person to help City Staff coordinate activities.
