Permanent speed humps coming to Nanaimo’s Ross Rd.
NANAIMO — A pair of speed humps are coming to a central Nanaimo road after a successful trial of the traffic calming measure.
Two permanent speed humps will be installed on Ross Rd. between Howden and Emerald Drives. A City staff report said the average speed for 15 per cent of traffic fell from 64 km/h before the trial to 50 km/h during.
Jamie Rose, the City’s manager of transportation, said the trial was well-received by locals, noting he was even stopped on the street and thanked by an area resident during installation.
He said they don’t have an exact timeline for installing the permanent humps but it will likely take place in the spring when the weather improves.
