example to address perceived prob-
lem areas, drivers may learn to take
other roads to avoid them with the
effect being that the issue of speeding
is simply moved to a different area of
the community.
Some issues that community associ-
ations should consider before install-
ing speed bumps or humps are: (1)
whether they are permitted based on
local ordinance and the association’s
governing documents, (2) the cost
involved, (3) whether their installation
will affect the ability of emergency
responders to do their jobs by hinder-
ing or slowing the movement of ambu-
lances and firetrucks, (4) the effect
on school buses, garbage trucks,
or snow plows, and (5) whether the
installation of speed bumps or speed
humps will generate complaints by
owners relating to wear and tear on
cars, perceived reduction in property
value, and noise.
Gates
Community associations may
decide to install gates to slow down
drivers as they enter and leave the
community and also to reduce outside
drivers from cutting through the com-
munity on their way to other destina-
tions. Gates come in many varieties.
Gates may be completely automatic,
meaning they open for any car that
approaches. This variety of gate has
the effect of slowing down drivers
as they enter and leave, but does
not distinguish between owners and
non-owners. Gates may be manned
by a hired security guard who verifies
that the driver is permitted to enter
the community. Gates may also use
a key fob or similar system, where
only those who are affiliated with the
community association can cause the
gate to open. This variety of gate
has the effect of limiting access to
non-owners without the need to hire
a security guard. A common concern
with gates is that they can be very
costly to install and repair.
