Traffic calming involves the implementation of certain measures that are intended to slow traffic in an effort to increase the safety of non-motorized users. Many communities are using these tools to improve the quality of life for their residents.

Traffic calming designs aid in the preservation of residential neighborhoods by decreasing cut-through traffic, providing safe havens for pedestrians and bicyclists, and enhancing the aesthetics by creating appealing streetscapes and gateway treatments. SRF & Associates has spear-headed a number of Town and Village Traffic Calming Initiatives. These projects are inherently collaborative in nature and require significant neighborhood involvement and the cooperation of numerous public agencies.
