Residents in South Austin are upset after signs telling speeders to hit the brakes were removed by the city.
On March 12, residents led by Janet Mash and Steven Rivas placed 100 "slow down" signs along West Oltorf Street between South Lamar Boulevard and South 1st Street, in an effort to get speeders to do just that.
Neighbors say people will go way too fast through a tricky stretch of Oltorf. Some neighbors decided they needed to do something, so they put these signs up for block hoping drivers and city leaders will pay attention."On Saturday, March 19, 2022, the Austin Code Department responded to two anonymous complaints regarding "slow down" signs posted in the public right-of-way along W. Oltorf Street, between S. 1st Street and S. Lamar Boulevard.
Last week, Austin Transportation said they’ll be adding curve warning signs, speed advisory signs, raised pavement markings and refreshed striping later this spring. But residents are dismayed to see the signs come down before a permanent solution comes to pass.
