Request for Speed Bumps on Lord Fairfax Road

I spoke with some families about the possibility of installing speed bumps on Lord Fairfax Road to encourage traffic to slow down so close to our school.  I inquired about next steps since this is a County road.  Here is the the response from our Office of Safety and Security:

Speed bumps are one of several measures characterized as “traffic calming” techniques.  These processes are begun by residents of the area, typically through their HOA’s, to their local County Board of Supervisor.  We suggest sharing these below URL’s w/the community, as the community are the ones who need to initiate the request.
