In conjunction with the growing national emphasis on pedestrian safety
and the need to better distinguish neighborhood street infrastructure from
major arterials, much work has been done in the area of traffic
calming. The purpose of this page is to better acquaint our
membership with actual experiences that many State, Regional and Local
Transportation Agencies have had with traffic calming.
This is intended to serve as a reference
for identifying actions taken and case studies in areas throughout the
country that have addressed neighborhood traffic problems by
developing and applying traffic calming techniques. The
information presented should only be considered a sampling of the
total effort conducted by a particular transportation agency/community
and one should contact the individual organization for additional
details.
ITE would like to thank everyone who provided traffic calming
material for review and will periodically modify the site to reflect
any additional case studies received. Please contact Phil
Caruso, 202-289-0222 x. 126, if you have any such materials that
you would like to share with other ITE members.
