StarStarStarStar

Mini-roundabouts

StarStarStarStar

Smaller version of standard roundabouts, designed for low-speed environments. Intended to slow traffic and improve intersection safety.

StarStarStarStar

Lane Narrowings

StarStarStarStar

Reforming lanes to be narrower than standard widths. Intended to discourage speeding and create a perception of a confined space.

StarStarStarStar

Neckdowns

StarStarStarStar

Narrowing of the street at intersection corners through curb extensions. Intended to reduce pedestrian crossing distance and slow down turning vehicles.

StarStarStarStar

Shared Space

StarStarStarStar

Road design without traditional traffic signals where all road users share the same surface. Intended to create a sense of uncertainty to reduce vehicle speeds.

StarStarStarStar

Rumble Strips

StarStarStarStar

Series of raised strips set into the pavement along the roadway. Intended to alert inattentive drivers through a vibratory and auditory effect.

StarStarStarStar

Horizontal Deflections

StarStarStarStar

Physical design elements such as curves and turns added to the road to slow down traffic. Intended to impede straight-through movements.

StarStarStarStar

Curb Radius Reduction

StarStarStarStar

Decreasing the radius of the curb at intersections to slow the turning speeds of vehicles. Intended to improve pedestrian safety by reducing the exposure time in crosswalks.

StarStarStarStar

Raised Crosswalks

StarStarStarStar

Pedestrian crossings elevated to the level of the sidewalk. Intended to slow down vehicles and increase pedestrian visibility.

StarStarStarStar

Pedestrian Refuge Islands

StarStarStarStar

Safe waiting areas situated in the middle of larger streets for pedestrians. Intended to assist with the crossing of one direction of traffic at a time.

StarStarStarStar

Speed Humps

StarStarStarStar

Raised areas of pavement designed to reduce vehicle speeds. Intended to enhance pedestrian safety and discourage speeding.

StarStarStarStar

No Right Turn on Red

StarStarStarStar

Traffic regulation that prohibits a right turn while the traffic signal is red. Intended to improve safety for pedestrians crossing the street.

StarStarStarStar

Pedestrian Overpasses

StarStarStarStar

Bridges allowing pedestrians and cyclists to cross over busy roadways. Intended to prevent accidents by separating traffic from vulnerable road users.

StarStarStarStar

Bulb-outs

StarStarStarStar

Sidewalk extensions at intersections or mid-block crossings that reduce the crossing distance. Intended to improve pedestrian visibility and safety.

StarStarStarStar

Textured Pavements

StarStarStarStar

Use of different materials or patterns in the road surface to indicate a change in driving conditions. Intended to alert drivers through tactile feedback.

StarStarStarStar

Chicanes

StarStarStarStar

Artificial features creating extra turns in the road to slow down traffic flow. Intended to reduce vehicle speeds and enhance the streetscape.

StarStarStarStar

Roundabouts

StarStarStarStar

Circular intersection designs that promote continuous flow of traffic. Intended to reduce the incidence and severity of collisions.

StarStarStarStar

Traffic Islands

StarStarStarStar

Raised medians or islands within an intersection or mid-block to manage traffic movements. Intended to direct flow and improve pedestrian safety.

StarStarStarStar

Gateways

StarStarStarStar

Entrance treatments to influence driver perceptions and indicate transition into an area where different driving behavior is expected.

StarStarStarStar

Dynamic Speed Display Signs

StarStarStarStar

Electronic signs that display a vehicle’s speed as it approaches, often with messages or symbols. Intended to raise awareness and encourage speed compliance.

StarStarStarStar

Road Diets

StarStarStarStar

Reconfiguration of a roadway by reducing the number of lanes or width of lanes. Intended to lower speeds and create space for other uses like bike lanes.
