  1. Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP) Background The NTMP program was develop to promote and maintain the safety and livability of local residential neighborhoods. The NTMP program is based on the program that Prince George’s County has implemented since 1996 to address the impact of traffic on the County’s residential streets. This program provides an objective process to identify, evaluate, and address undesirable traffic conditions related to speeding and excessive volumes on residential streets.

  2. Goals • Provide neighborhood livability by reducing the speeds and impact of vehicular traffic on residential streets. • Promote safe conditions for residents, pedestrians, school children, and motorists on neighborhood streets, while preserving access for emergency vehicles, and buses. • Encourage and promote citizen involvement in all phases of the NTMP Program. • Make efficient use of the City’s resources by ranking requested streets according to their NTMP point assignment score and other factors.

  3. Criteria Points are assigned to a street based on factors such as prevailing speed, vehicular/pedestrian volumes on the street, traffic accident history, and the street’s physical conditions.

  4. Process • Receipt of request from citizens/public officials/community associations. • A comprehensive study is conducted to determine if speed humps are warranted. • Data Collection for Comprehensive Study includes • Inventory of existing Traffic Control Devices (TCD). • Traffic volume counts and speed data over 3 days are collected (weekdays). • Review of accident data over the last available three years. • If the comprehensive study shows that speed humps are warranted, a community meeting is held and this information is provided. This information enables the community to make an informed decision with regard to the installation of speed humps.

  5. Petition In order to qualify for the installation of speed humps: • A petition must be submitted with signatures of at least 60% of the households fronting the subject roadway. One signature per household (Petition provided by City of Bowie). • Submission of a letter on behalf of the HOA signed by the President of the HOA when applicable. • Agreement of stated conditions (as stated on the petition): • Humps are installed at proposed intervals. • Warning signs and pavement markings associated with the speed humps. • Possibility of removal of on-street parking in proximity to a hump. • Once the speed humps are installed, they will not be removed.

  6. Once our Department is in receipt of the signed petition package, and the signatures are validated, the roadway is added to the schedule for installation of the speed humps.
