TRAFFIC CALMING OF STATE HIGHWAYS: APPLICATION NEW ENGLAND

Open publisher page 8 citations

Abstract

The study has two main objectives: to evaluate the effect on safety of traffic calming of arterials and to look at the acceptance of traffic calming measures. Only a few truly traffic calmed arterials were found worldwide and even fewer have been evaluated. In North America, most traffic calming of arterials has occurred as a byproduct of mobility improvements, such as reducing roads from four lanes to three lanes with center turn lanes and constructing roundabouts.
