Pittsburgh's South Side Getting Speed Humps

PITTSBURGH, PA — The South Side slopes are getting various traffic calming measures, the city Department of Mobility and Infrastructure has announced.

The project will occur to Pius Street between South 18th Street and Brosville Street.

"Data collected in 2021 indicated that more than 50 percent of vehicles traveling on the street exceeded the posted speed limit of 25 mph," a department releases stated.

"The data, according to officials, also shows traffic calming measures are needed because of the crash history and rate of speeding. Four speed humps and improved pedestrian crossings are coming to the area. Signage and pavement parking will alert motorists."

Construction is expected to start on Wednesday and last two days.
