Combined Measures

     

Combined measures are:

  • Composed of more than one traffic calming measure at one location.
  • Ideal for residential applications.

 

Typical Design:

  • Measures that are commonly integrated together are:
    • Neighborhood Roundabouts - Deflector Islands;
    • Chokers - Speed Humps, Speed Tables, Raised Cross Walks, Neighborhood Roundabouts, and Medians;
    • Neckdowns - Speed Humps, Speed Tables, Raised Cross Walks, and Medians.

 

 

Placement Issues:

  • Place in areas where employing one measure is not enough to accomplish design goal/s.
 

Approximate Cost:

  • Variable.

 

Comments:

  • It is important when combining measures to make sure drivers can still navigate the combined measures intuitively.
