Members of 21 households in the Hays Road area have petitioned Peters Township Council to explore a traffic calming study there.
And while township Manager Michael Silvestri said that wouldn't be immediately possible, a short-term solution might.
Council on Monday directed Silvestri to explore the possibility of placing portable speed humps on the road.
Silvestri said the throughway has been greatly impacted by the Valleybrook Road construction, and has experienced twice its normal traffic since that work began.
Residents, he said, have expressed concern over that traffic volume, as well as speeding in the area.
Silvestri said the township, which generally conducts just one traffic calming study at a time, is completing one on Maple Lane.
A similar study of Hays will likely begin sometime next year.
