#trafficcalming — Public Fediverse posts

Here's an original traffic calming measure I saw in Madrid: Protected Peafowl wandering the streets.

They're large and slow and confident enough to wander in the middle of roads, and drivers know they'd get heavy fines for injuring them.

#Madrid #TrafficCalming #Birds

If I lived on that street, I would set up a tyre garage, alloy wheel refurb place and bodyshop nearby 😁

Presumably this is deliberate, to discourage SUVs and other larger vehicles from that lane whilst letting through smaller ones - I think it needs more signs on approach (like a similar #TrafficCalming scheme in Britain would use), but surely its obvious to those in larger #cars that their vehicle may not easily fit through that gap, and they should take the lane to the left?

3/2 here's the proposal called "Penn Avenue Rightsizing (Strip District)" https://engage.pittsburghpa.gov/penn-ave-rightsizing #urbanism #BikeLanes #TrafficCalming #Cars

[2/2] CHASER: an SUV was flipped yesterday in The Strip District on 27th, right where the City's DOMI (Department of Mobility Infrastructure) wants to institute traffic calming, mostly through one-way streets https://www.reddit.com/r/pittsburgh/comments/1novabe/yinz_drivin_upsidahn_now/

[1/2] SHOT: "Strip District merchants sue city over Penn Avenue lane reduction plan"

> The city’s Engage PGH website details a plan to reduce Penn Avenue from two lanes to one, starting at 31st Street and ending at 22nd Street, just before the main concentration of the Penn Avenue business district starts.

City: too much car
Shop keepers: "you will KILL THIS NEIGHBORHOOD and OUR BUSINESS if you advance this plan to REDUCE CARS"

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/aug/12/britain-20mph-zones-save-lives-traffic-safe-streets?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other #TrafficCalming “Take speed limits. Rigorous new research published by Transport for London shows the number of people killed or seriously injured on London borough roads reduced by 34% following the implementation of 20mph #speedlimits, with the number of children killed falling by 75% (from four to one). That means fewer grieving families and fewer people’s lives made a misery. (1/3)

@afewbugs As a Londoner, I am very grateful we have Sadiq Khan as mayor. He is a total hero. I don't agree at all with some of his policies (especially Silvertown tunnel), but he is so clearly doing his best for Londoners, at quite a cost to himself. Thank goodness our citizens have the sense to keep voting for him ...

𝗕𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗵 è un neologismo anglofono che si sta sempre più diffondendo, è composto dalle parole bike (bicicletta) e backlash (contraccolpo, reazione avversa) per indicare la reazione negativa che nasce quando si tenta di rendere la città più a misura di bici.

If we talk about the need to calm #traffic in front of schools, here is a good example from the city of #Gdańsk: what used to be a traditional street for cars is now accessible only to #pedestrians and #cyclists.🚲👍#trafficcalming #children #schools #poland

Safe streets are really a simple issue. We need #TrafficCalming, slower speeds, road diets, #ProtectedAndSeparated mobility lanes, and of course, less reliance on driving so we can have less cars! I think it's shameful how @edflynnforboston.bsky.social exploits our safety for attention

If you're in Victoria, BC and looking for a traffic calmed connection between bike lanes on Dallas Road and Superior Street, check out the Montreal Street bicycle boulevard. This route also provides access to parks, community gardens and tennis courts. #yyjbike #biketooter #bikeways #trafficcalming #cycling

Fairfax County reveals next 10 schools to get speed cameras

"A speed survey conducted this past February found that all eight of the original school zones were seeing average speeds under 30 mph, a notable drop from pre-pilot speeds...“In pre-pilot surveys, it was noted that thousands of drivers exceeded the speed limit by more than 10 mph during a sample period in the tested school zones”

@Anibyl
I’ve seen these with gaps for bikes

If they had lots of close speed bumps for cars 🚙 , all with gaps to let bikes 🚲 and scooters 🛴 pass, it would be quite exciting for drivers going too fast 🫨

Washboard streets

But yeah, focus #TrafficCalming on the most dangerous traffic and encourage the safer modes 💡

#NewHaven took a nasty intersection with weird angles and wide streets, and is currently turning it into an enormous peanut-shaped roundabout with protected cycletracks, pedestrian medians, and a park/garden area inside the peanut, that will limit traffic speeds to about 15MPH or less.

Going to petition the city transportation dept to try and curb dangerous speeding near residential areas. Any advice on what methods would work?

Ideally speeding cameras, but without automated enforcement which my city doesn't seem to do that is probably toothless. Speed bumps near intersections?
