The program consists of two phases. During the initial phase of the program, we investigate the area for proper signs and pavement markings. We also conduct speed studies to determine if the roadway is eligible for the program and if it qualifies for the program. If a speeding problem is documented in the initial phase, Traffic Engineering will notify Henrico Police and request enforcement. The second phase consists of installing temporary physical devices to slow traffic. During the second phase process, we will work together with police and fire to determine the best plan for the neighborhood. If the surrounding neighbors agree to have the devices installed, Traffic Engineering will schedule the installation
The following are Goals and Objectives for our Neighborhood Traffic Management Program:
- Create safer and more appealing streets
- Create streets that are safe for all road users
- Help reduce the negative effects of motorized vehicles in neighborhoods
- Reduce speeds of vehicles traveling faster than the posted speed limit
- Improve the real and perceived safety for non-motorized users of the street.
The following Links give you more details on the traffic calming program.
