Traffic Calming Proposal For Coit Ave (Belknap)
https://urbangr.org/trafficcalmingcoitbelknap202308 #GrandRapidsMI #BelknapGR #TrafficCalming

This #chokePoint is how you combine #trafficCalming and safer #crosswalks, with more cost-effective #EdgeLaneRoads. Instead of #YellowCenterlines forcing people on bikes to "share" with cars, two-way car traffic shares one center lane. The #AdvisoryBikeLanes can be used for two drivers to pass each other, but by default, those spaces are dedicated to people walking and biking. (SW 45th, #SWTFpdx, so many streets need this, not blinking lights and victim-blaming.)

This stretch of Broadway is well overdue for serious traffic calming measures. If you’ve ever crossed it on foot, you know how dangerous it can be. We’ll be there tomorrow, 7/27, getting people safely across and demanding immediate action. Join us! #chicago #safestreets #trafficcalming #activism

I was surprised yet pleased yesterday to find that SDOT had installed speed cushions on 14th Ave S between College St & Massachusetts St on Beacon Hill a week earlier than scheduled; thank you!
Check them out!

This reinforces my belief that “street furniture” closer to the edge of the road perceptually changes the designed speed of road.

This is also why drivers go too fast in suburban neighborhoods with massive setbacks dedicated to lawns.

More street furniture please: trees, lampposts, bike racks, gardens—anything that protects sidewalks and people.

i reported this intersection to the city, and instead of fixing it they redirected the ticket to the police for enforcement 😂

that garbage truck went straight through it too btw, like most of the traffic

Despite people routinely doing 50mph on a 25mph street, our speed hump application failed, only managed 1/3rd of the vote.

Not coincidentally, that is the ratio of homes that don’t have small children vs those that do.

I propose we rename the boomers the greediest generation.

Some new and exciting #TrafficCalming infrastructure in #Dorchester

First one (teardrop #Diverter) is at Whitfield and Southern. The #RaisedCrosswalk and #Bollards is at Talbot and Colonial. I'll post the before pics next

This is absolutely the future I want for #Boston

Boston plans to install speed bumps on all of its residential streets to slow drivers down and encourage them to stay on arterials. My hometown of Portland, Oregon could learn from this.

Yes, traffic on arterials would get worse as speed bumps are phased in, but the congestion would force the Portland area to get serious about providing frequent, reliable, and safe mass transit to all of its neighborhoods.

Traffic calming devices to go up on Maxwell between Woodlawn and Henderson this summer. Should make for a nice ride!

@mszll It also perpetuates the dominance of cars. We need more mixed streets and #TrafficCalming

Get in loser, we're blowing through stop signs at the Green St T stop in #Boston #TrafficCalming #VisionZero ##CompleteStreets

"Street adjustments" are 🔑:

"Last summer, Indianapolis officials created a public-facing Fatal Crash Review Commission to review deadly crashes on city streets. The commission looks beyond police reports, identifying ways in which street adjustments might reduce the likelihood of another crash." https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-01-12/this-city-s-car-crash-investigations-go-beyond-police-reports

@LiorSteinberg Reminds me of Franklin & Broadway, in #oakland #trafficcalming

In most cities in Israel the police and the municipalities allow motorized vehicles to drive and park on sidewalks and pedestrian areas. Traffic calming is a foreign term here. See the article below.

עיריית ירושלים מפקירה את הולכי הרגל ומסרבת לשים אמצעי מיתון תנועה אמיתיים. בכלל מיתון תנועת רכבים מנועיים בעיר הוא מושג זר לה.

#Cars are practically #banned from this inner #district of #Budapest - Daily News #Hungary

There will be significant #restrictions on #throughTraffic for non-residents, said Péter Niedermüller, mayor of #Erzsébetváros, Budapest’s 7th district. Kázmér Kovács, chairman of the legal committee of the Hungarian Automobile Club, said the #trafficCalming as an objective is commendable, but moderation would be justified.
