What specific traffic calming measures will be used?
In general, the plan calls for entrance features at the borders of the Mosby Heritage Area and at the boundaries of Aldie, Middleburg and Upperville. These will be clear indications to drivers that they should be more alert and respect the community through which they are driving. Within the villages, measures include raised intersections and pedestrian crosswalks, tree planted medians, small traffic circles, cobblestone or paving stone strips that signal changes in the speed limit, various paving materials to indicate parking, walking and driving areas, strategically placed greenery along the streets, and safer pedestrian walkways which are badly needed in each village. Speed limits would be posted at 25 mph in the villages and 50 mph outside, with 35 mph transition zones. No additional traffic lights or stop signs are proposed and there are no speed bumps planned for Route 50.
