Traffic Calming 101

I was sent this web page recently by one of our Blog-Lebo readers and I wanted to share it with everyone since this has been an issue that has been discussed for a number of years here in town. It's titled "Traffic Calming 101" and is provided by the Project for Public Spaces, which according to their website:

PPS's staff is trained in environmental design, architecture, urban planning, urban geography, urban design, environmental psychology, landscape architecture, arts administration and information management. The staff also collaborates on projects with architecture, landscape architecture and engineering firms, graphic design firms, transportation consultants, retail planners and community organizations. All of our staff is committed to the cause of communities throughout the United States and abroad."

The article discusses all of the various ways that traffic calming can be attempted and hopefully accompished. It's worth the read.
