Traffic Calming

Traffic Calming Techniques are designed to reduce vehicle speeds, increase space for pedestrians and bicyclists, and improve the local environment by creating physical structures and visual cues that induce drivers to slow down. Traffic calming treatments come in many varieties and can be customized to fit a community's specific needs and budget.
