Jupiter Farms mother starts speed hump process in her neighborhood, 18 projects currently in progress in PBC

PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — We often have conversations regarding speeding drivers through neighborhoods at our Let’s Hear It events.

WPTV anchor Mike Trim listened to one frustrated resident in West Palm Beach who has started the process of requesting Palm Beach County to install speed humps in his neighborhood.

A mother in Jupiter Farms is doing the same thing.

Digging for answers, Trim examined how many speed hump projects are currently happening in Palm Beach County and found 18 projects are actively in progress.

Chrissy, who did not want to share her last name, lives on Sandy Run Road in Jupiter Farms and says she witnessed cars traveling well over the speed limit. She feels something needs to be done, especially for the safety of her deaf son.

“He’s not going to hear that car horn," Chrissy said. "That person saying, 'Hey, watch out!' He’s not going to hear it."

Seeking solutions, Chrissy contacted Palm Beach County about the speed hump process and started the first step of the process by circulating a neighborhood petition, seeking to gain the 60% approval rate required by the county to move forward.

“It was definitely a mission for a very advocating momma to continue on and get those signatures,” Chrissy said.

Ultimately, Chrissy got much more than the 60% petition signatures needed.

In January 2025, the Palm Beach County engineering office studied the traffic volume and speed of Sandy Run traffic, revealing that more than 2,000 vehicles drive past 105 Drive North and 110^th Avenue North daily.

Of those drivers in the traffic study, 93% were driving faster than the 30-mile-per-hour speed limit.

Palm Beach County's Office of Community Revitalization told Trim there are 18 speed hump projects active right now.

“Just a couple of miles per hour really does help," Chrissy said. "Having something that makes you feel safe for your children, for your animals."
