What do you do when drivers just don’t seem to get the hint that reckless driving is not appreciated in your neighborhood? Do you hire professional movers to relocate to a safer neighborhood? Or do you take matters into your own hands? Well, if you are a resident of Larimer County, you may simply join in a neighborhood effort to construct and maintain man-made speed bumps to combat the issue. That is what several residents living along Raw-Hide Flats Road settled on, and for years their six speed bumps which they made with dirt managed to control the speeding issue which mounted-speed-limit signs as well as home-made “slow down” signs failed to accomplish previously. Your Denver movers don’t suggest going the route that the aforementioned residents did as local law enforcement has recently gotten involved which has proven less than favorable for all involved.

In all, six dirt speed bumps were installed by the concerned neighbors, each taking up half of the road’s width and interlocking with each other in a zipper-style fashion. Driving thirty miles-per-hour or less, motorists were able to maneuver through the speed bumps without hitting a single one –the posted speed limit is twenty miles-per-hour. However, driving much faster through the speed bumps would surely result in a bumpy ride. 

The Larimer County neighborhood, located north of Fort Collins, was recently subjected to the legal scrutiny following the Raw-Hide Flats Road’s new use as a route to Soapstone (Fort Collins’ natural open space area.) As is the case, more attention will be paid to the dirt road and no maintenance performed by any of Larimer’s residents will be permitted under any circumstances.
