What are the advantages of active traffic management techniques (traffic calming devices)?
The advantages of physically changing the street over simply installing traffic signs include: • Police enforcement is generally not required to achieve lower speeds. • Removal of excess pavement width in some areas. • Eliminates straight appearance of the roadway. • Vertically deflect and horizontally shift the vehicle driver’s path, causing the driver to devote more attention to the task of driving. • Visually enhances the street by adding greenery.
