You would need to share your concerns about vehicles speeding with local law enforcement. MoDOT doesn't have the ability to enforce speed limits -- and law enforcement doesn't work for the department. Typically, signal timing rarely impacts vehicle speeds. As far as the timing at Weber Road, the roadway with the most traffic is the one that gets the most time. Most of the traffic on Weber is coming from the subdivisions, which tends to be significantly lower than the through traffic heading onto and off the interstate just north of there.

MoDOT maintains grass along interchanges on Route 364. Since we have more than 1500 miles of roadway in the greater St. Louis area, all routes are mowed on a schedule -- about four times per year (about every eight weeks). I'll share your concerns with the team that oversees the mowing. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communicagtions
MoDOT oversaw the project as one of our routine construction contracts. They did just put the last layer of asphalt on the roadway on those bridges last week, so it may have improved a bit. I checked with our engineer overseeing that project. They stated that you might have a slight roll up onto and off the bridge (which is expected). Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications
I'll forward this to our signals group for investigation. Thanks for sharing your concerns. David Wrone, St. Louis County's Department of Transportation
Technically, the asphalt went on the roadway, not on the bridge. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications
We don't have stats to back it up, but we aren't seeing the typical bottlenecks that we regularly see on the interstates yet, so it seems like we're not at "normal" yet. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications
In St. Charles County, we estimate that we are around 10-20% below normal daily traffic volumes. We've been in that range for most of the summer.
the barriers downtown are meant to discourage racing and aggressive driving - there is an offset to the openings similar to the chicane path you referenced, however we have not lined the path with concrete.
our engineer will check it out
I’ve made a comment about excessive speeding on Gravois two times! This is the third time, I hope something gets done about it on this stare highway! Between McKinsey Road and the city limits is where it is worse. I would say that I see it as cars fly through the intersection at the light at Gravois and Weber Road going 60 mph or above. That light is too long, the wait on Weber is unusually long! Perhaps the speeding could be slowed down by a shorter light for Gravois, or radar (which I never see on that highway). There are too many businesses in that highway, fast traffic needs to be sloweddown!
