What is Traffic Calming?
Traffic Calming aims to manage vehicular speeds and volumes. The greatest benefits of traffic calming are increased safety and comfort for all street users. Compared with conventionally designed streets, traffic calmed streets typically have fewer collisions, traffic-related injuries, and fatalities. There safety benefits are the result of slower motor vehicle speeds that result in greater driver awareness, shorter stopping distances, and less kinetic energy during a collision.
