These programs include the deployment of speed radar signs to raise awareness among motorists about their driving speeds, and the Neighborhood Street Safety Program which addresses pedestrian and bicycle safety, speeding and intersection control on local residential streets. Residents can submit service requests for street improvements or report issues like damaged signs. The City also manages speed limits and parking restrictions, striving for optimal road use. Additionally, roundabouts are used to manage traffic volumes and enhance safety for all road users. Together, these initiatives foster a safety-conscious culture.
Neighborhood Traffic Programs
Speed Radar Program
Want to help reduce speeding in your neighborhood? Contact your Neighborhood District to request a temporary speed radar sign. These signs display the speed of passing vehicles, helping to raise awareness about speed limits and to influence driver behavior. The City Police Department can use data from these signs to target enforcement if needed.
Neighborhood Street Safety Program
The Neighborhood Street Safety Program addresses pedestrian and bicycle safety, safe routes to school, speeding, intersection control and crossings. Funded by the Transportation GO Bond, this program aims to improve residential street traffic safety.
