Traffic Concerns In Your Neighborhood?
Vehicles driving too fast in residential neighborhoods are one of the highest concerns received from the Sandy community. There are several options that we can use to deter speeding:
Speed Radar Trailer - You have probably seen our Radar Trailer on the streets throughout Sandy. The trailer is deployed in areas that have reported concerns about speeding vehicles. It provides us with a detailed report of the time, date, and speed of every car that passes by. This trailer does not issue citations or warnings but does show flashing lights when drivers are going over the set speed limit. You can request this trailer by filling our the form on the Sandy Police Department’s web page.
Request Extra Patrol - If speeding in your neighborhood occurs during specific days and hours, you can contact the Sandy Police Department Office at 503.668.5566 to request an officer to patrol the area.
Traffic Calming - While enforcement is the preferred method to deter speeders, engineered options such as speed humps can be effective in slowing down vehicles if marked correctly. Please refer to the City's Traffic Calming page for information on how residents can learn about the process and apply for traffic calming devices on existing neighborhood streets. If you would like to request a traffic study please fill out the online form.
