The preliminary design shown to attendees places three sets of speed cushions along Creek View, spaced to discourage drivers from accelerating between devices. Hammond described NDOT’s typical cushion dimensions (about 6 feet wide with gaps to allow larger vehicles to pass) and cited before‑and‑after results from other projects showing roughly a 9–11 mph reduction where cushions were installed.
