Fort Worth residents are pleased with new speed bumps in hopes it deters speeding and street racing.
For years, street racing has been a major concern for people living in one Fort Worth neighborhood. So much, the problem caught NBC 5’s attention, and around this time last year, we did a report with shocking video shining a light on the problem.
“All of the neighbors, we were so tired, and we didn’t feel safe anymore to go to the park with the kids or just go for a walk,” said Triana. “It was scary. Whenever I went out to mow the yard, I had to put out a barrier to make sure someone didn’t run over me,” said resident David Covington.At the time, speeding, racing and street takeovers had made headlines for months across Texas. So much that Governor Greg Abbott launched a statewide task force using various DPS divisions to address the issue.
“The change was immediate,” she said. “They would do donuts on the corners and the floor was marked. They can’t do that anymore because of the speed bumps.”
