We put bulb-outs mid-block in Charlottesville, created a wavy driving pattern, and, man, if you don't get buy-in from the public, the public just aims at those things and drives over them, shocks be damned..I say put in stop signs..A heck of a lot c…
Not being at an intersection should actually be a bit easier than otherwise. We to mid-block neck-downs out here all the time. You lose some on-street parking (if you had it to start with), but you also gain some potential stormwater benefits if the…
If this is mid-block, then a crosswalk is VERY dangerous, requiring plenty of signage and visual cues. . You can place the neck-downs mid block (they don't have to be at intersections) and would consider it a requirement for a mid-block crossing. A…
Thanks for the suggestions....however, the specific places where I'm considering including traffic-calming elements aren't at intersections, making the idea of a neck-down a bit difficult. I'm not completely sold on the speed table idea; in fact, a…
I agree about the neck-downs. They provide a better visual cue. This is especially so if you are in an area where paint on pavement doesn't last long or gets covered with black from tires and exhaust, as it does in the dry southwest. Personally, I t…
Tables don't work well. I've used them in the past at a client's request and they have a minimal effect on speed. I prefer using neck-downs at crosswalks and high contrast paving materials, in conjunction with some sort of highly textured surface pr…
