Traffic Calming Matters

Tigard High School Sign Dedication

Radar speed signs, speed bumps, crosswalks, radar cameras…when it comes to traffic calming options there are a lot of choices – and even more opinions. While some cities are installing new devices at an enormous pace, others are ripping them. There are organizations that have cropped up to support traffic calming measures and others chartered to oppose them.

The purpose of this blog is to provide an open and informed forum for discussion on traffic and pedestrian safety-related topics. There is a lot of information out there; a lot of research and a lot of rumors; a lot of facts, and a lot of hype. Hopefully this site will help sort it all out.

As a growing number of communities across the United States consider traffic calming measures, this blog is intended to serve as a resource of facts, opinions and experiences from those affected.

This blog is sponsored by Information Display Company, one of the oldest and largest manufacturers dedicated solely traffic calming technology in the U.S. today. Since our professional staff includes some of the most seasoned industry professionals, many of the posts will be a sharing of their thoughts. Other contributors include traffic calming engineers, government agency representatives, neighborhood organizations and individuals with something to say on the matter.

We hope this blog provides information and insights that help reduce accidents and increase pedestrian safety while minimizing driver inconveniences.
