Traffic Speeds All roads within the Greenleaf Terrace neighborhood currently have a posted speed of 25 miles per hour. A notable exception is the privately-owned portion of Gentry Lane near Walker Elementary School which has a 15 mile per hour limit during School pick-up and drop-off times. All traffic volume data collected by the City of Charlottesville included the 85 th percentile speed and percentage of vehicles exceeding 55 miles per hour for each traffic flow direction. Two of the locations for which raw data was available from VDOT included raw speed information which was then used to calculate an overall 85 th percentile speed. Map 7 displays the higher of the two directional 85 th percentile speeds for each location sampled. 85 th percentile speeds exceeded posted speed limits at all observation points. Based on the Charlottesville Traffic Calming Device Implementation Guidebook, local streets that have posted speed limits of 25 MPH and 85 th percentile speeds that are between 25 and 35 MPH have a moderate speeding problem. Streets with 85 th percentile speeds above 35 MPH are considered to have a serious speeding issue. Map 7 clearly shows the presence of a moderate speeding problem throughout the neighborhood, and eight observed speeds that are above 30 miles per hour, including three that are just below the 35 mile per hour “serious” threshold.
