Countywide Traffic Calming Program

Description

Implementation of a Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program (NTCP) is needed to identify and propose traffic calming measures on local and collector streets that will reduce excessive speeds and cut-through traffic. Traffic calming measures may include, but are not necessarily limited to speed tables, raised crosswalks, raised intersections, traffic circles, and medians. Traffic studies will be performed on the basis of a “Petition to Study” signed by a clear majority of all affected residents in a given neighborhood. Each candidate street will be studied and ranked according to traffic conditions and point system established in the policy and procedure manual. The Board of County Commissioners, considering the County Engineer’s recommendation, will select the number of projects to be undertaken each fiscal year based on available resources and funding. The Fiscal Year 2025 budget for this project is $100,000.
