Traffic calming

There s nowhere in the big, tidy village where we could avoid the castle s presence even if we wanted to. It lowers over everything, and the post office, when we go in for water and a packet of biscuits, has several booklets about its history, alongside the notices of traffic-calming consultations and the Sheriff Hutton Players in Sleeping Beauty.

Mini-roundabouts can generate accidents and should only be used where there have been more than four injury accidents in three years or as part of a traffic calming scheme. [Pg.51]

Road Safety Audits are being carried out on schemes designed by road safety engineers such as traffic calming, safer routes to school and local safety schemes. [Pg.103]

The list in Table 10.2 reflects those items that are difficult to fix within the constraints of the scheme, for example continuity of cycle route, and the Road Safety Auditors perception that more traffic calming may be required. It also reflects those items that the client feels are not safety issues, for example the implementation of antiskid surfaces at an improved set of signals or pedestrian facility where there is no record of existing wet skid accidents.

Another common concern regarding road safety measures such as speed humps and speed cameras is that they may induce accident migration, whereby traffic is redistributed to alternative routes. However, in several studies reviewed by Varhelyi (1996), no accident increase on such alternative routes was found. Fnrther, in a study that compared upstream and downstream speeds at traffic-calmed areas, Barbosa (1995) also did not find evidence of downstream increases of speed. [Pg.117]

Perhaps the most enduring and cost-effective speed management approach is through road design. This has been demonstrated with various traffic calming techniques that are employed primarily in urban high pedestrian concentration areas. A detailed discussion of the effectiveness of several such techniques is provided in Chapter 15. [Pg.298]
