About this file
This is a Transportation Design Bulletin issued by Hillsborough County's Engineering & Operations Department on January 11, 2021, outlining requirements for speed hump replacement in conjunction with county transportation projects. The bulletin establishes that speed humps installed in residential neighborhoods and on area roadways through public involvement processes must be replaced at their exact pre-existing locations if removed during construction activities. Permanent removal of any speed hump requires formal public involvement procedures engaging the affected neighborhood, with coordination through the County Project Manager mandatory prior to any changes. The standard Hillsborough County speed hump replacement detail is referenced in Index SSH-001, and the requirements became effective immediately upon issuance.
The bulletin provides background context that Hillsborough County's Residential Traffic Calming program allows placement of speed management measures on county roadways as traffic-calming countermeasures to reduce cut-through traffic and speeding in residential areas. Implementation of such measures requires neighborhood initiation and consensus through petition submission to the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners for approval. The document emphasizes that any removal or relocation of traffic-calming countermeasures necessitates formal public involvement procedures, ensuring that contractors performing roadway construction and resurfacing work—such as those on the Roadway Resurfacing Repair and Preservation Districts 3 & 4 project estimated at $16,000,000—must comply with speed hump replacement protocols at pre-existing locations.
