Traffic Calming.
What is it?
Traffic Calming is a means to discourage speeding and other unsafe driving behaviors. The process includes identifying a dangerous roadway and modifying the street’s design to slow or divert car traffic AND encourage responsible driving.
Does it work?
Yes. Traffic calming reduces traffic speed, reduces motor-vehicle collisions, and improves safety for pedestrians and cyclists. – Department of Transportation
