i understand the whole slow down emergency responders arguement but the percentage of time a cop or fire truck would be actually responding to something on a residential street is a very, very small percentage compared to the amount of speeders who drive on it. i have lived in my house for 2+ years. never had any agency have to respond code to anything on my street, just as an example.
Now trust I see people driving HUA all the time. Kinda what I do for a living. I have made requests for speed bumps on streets I thought needed them and got denied by Fire.
Best advice I can give and have given and seen it work is attack the politicans on the issue. Get a petition together with as many people as possible to sign it and let them know that if they (politicians) are not going to listen to you that you are sure that when their term is up you can elect someone that will. Believe it or not I have seen it work.
good luck with the speed bumps
