Description
Traffic calming techniques use physical design and other measures to reduce the vehicle's negative impacts, such as reducing excessive traffic speed and cut-through volume, altering driver behaviour and improving overall safety benefits for non-motorists like pedestrians, micro-mobility users and cyclists on residential streets and community paces. This course covers methods and best traffic calming practices used by professional planners, engineers, and consultants/researchers. A key objective of this course is to help you become better at planning and designing traffic calming measures using industry standards and guidelines.

The intended audience is anyone responsible for receiving complaints or inquiries about speeding and cut-through traffic issues and developing plans for municipal projects as a consultant and practitioner. This includes engineers, public works superintendents, municipal managers, planners, etc. Law enforcement and elected officials may also benefit from this course.
