Enforcement of local speed limits through police monitoring has proven unsuccessful in the town of Ardane  In many nearby towns, speed humps (raised areas of pavement placed across residential streets, about 300 feet apart) have reduced traffic speeds on residential streets by 20 to 25 percent
In order to reduce traffic speed and thereby enhance safety residential neighborhoods, Ardane' s transportation commission plans to install multiple speed humps in those neighborhoods
Because of their high weight, emergency vehicles such as fire trucks and ambulances must slow almost to a stop at speed humps.
