Traffic Calming Process

The Policy, Process & Guidelines Traffic Calming Policy and related Process and Guidelines are in recognition of: The City's goal of "Vision 0", where no severe motor vehicle incidents occur on our roads, An increase in concerns from residents re: neighbourhood traffic safety, The impact of continual growth and resulting traffic demands, and The focus to develop roadways for all users including active and alternative modes of transportation.

Traffic calming can enhance safety through: Reduced vehicle speeds Discourage short-cutting traffic Minimize conflict points and improve visibility Minimize the dominance of vehicles and promote an active and attractive community

What is Traffic Calming? Traffic calming is the installation of designed roadway measures to reduce traffic speeds and / or cut-through vehicle volumes, in the interest of road safety, community livability and returning a neighbourhood roadway to its intended function of servicing the community.

Traffic Calming Measures Traffic calming measures generally fall within five broad categories: Vertical Deflections Horizontal Deflections Passive Measures Technological Applications Roadway Obstructions Title (Arial Bold, 36pt, Title Case): add the name of this page, which should identify the content to follow Main point (Arial, 32pt): enter a description of your key idea for the page Sub-bullet (Arial, 26pt): enter supporting points for your key idea (delete if not needed) Bullet types should not be changed.

Vertical Deflections Such as speed tables or raised pedestrian crossings that create a “bump” in the roadway to encourage reduced speeds.

Horizontal Deflections Such as roundabouts or chicanes that create a curvature in the roadway to encourage reduced speeds.

Passive Measures Such as signs and road markings, which can be used to regulate traffic movements in lieu of physical design changes to the roadway

Technological & Signage Applications Such as driver feedback signs, school zone warning flashers to communicate messages or operational information to drivers

Roadway Obstructions Such as diagonal diverters, half closures or full closures that limit driver access to road segments and mitigate short-cutting traffic volumes.

Upcoming Schedule Phase 1: May – July 2016 Phase 2: June – November 2016 (break in July / August) Phase 3 & 4: Spring 2017
