The westerly section of Castlefield Avenue has a maximum grade of 6.4 percent. Based on this, two speed humps were installed on only the easterly section of Castlefield Avenue where the grade was less than 5 percent. The criteria was subsequently changed to now allow speed humps on grades of up to 8 percent.
