Traffic Calming Strategies

Traffic Calming Strategies address concerns related to vehicle speeds, cut-through traffic, and safety on local and collector roadways through the application of physical and operational measures. Our team develops context-sensitive solutions including speed humps, raised crosswalks, curb extensions, chicanes, traffic circles, road diets, and gateway treatments, guided by the Canadian Guide to Traffic Calming published by TAC and the Canadian Institute of Transportation Engineers (CITE), as well as municipal traffic calming policies.

In the Canadian context, Traffic Calming Strategies are typically initiated by municipal requests, neighbourhood petitions, or as components of broader transportation master plans and area studies. Studies are prepared by qualified transportation professionals, often licensed Professional Engineers, and are reviewed by municipal transportation staff, council committees, and emergency services. Our team conducts data-driven analysis, community consultation support, and design development to deliver implementable traffic calming plans that improve safety and quality of life while maintaining emergency response and transit operations.

Our team has in-depth expertise at conducting these assessments. Contact us today to find out how we can help with your project.
