Description: Are city and county residents clamoring for measures to reduce neighborhood traffic volumes and speeds? How do you figure out which traffic calming devices are valid for the conditions in your jurisdiction? What designs and specifications have had the best results? Tune into this audio-web broadcast as traffic engineering experts examine:
• state-of-the art design considerations for various road types, i.e. self-contained county roads vs. urban arterials which must be treated as a system;
• clear zone requirements for emergency vehicles;
• signage requirements for speed tables, roundabouts, etc.;
• best practice guidelines for responding to neighborhood requests for traffic calming.






This program has been approved for .2 CEUs or 2 PDHs. The form to request these credits is included in the handouts for this program.
