If your neighborhood is experiencing speeding or traffic cutting through residential streets, then traffic calming measures might be appropriate.  

We use a step-by-step process through our Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program (NTCP) to identify effective solutions.  

What Is Traffic Calming?

Traffic calming includes signs, road markings, street design changes and public education to:  

• Reduce speeding  
• Stop drivers from cutting through neighborhoods  
• Improve safety for everyone
