This policy outlines the procedures for conducting a Traffic Calming Study (TCS) to assess whether traffic calming measures are necessary. It also specifies the analysis criteria for residential, local, and arterial roads. Traffic calming is a combination of measures that reduce the negative effects of motor vehicle usage, alter driver behavior, and improve conditions for nonmotorized street users. Traffic calming consists of physical design and other measures put in place on existing roads to reduce vehicle speeds and improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
