Traffic Calming Best Practices

The Minnesota Local Road Research Board (LRRB) is conducting a research project to support local agencies in planning and implementing traffic calming infrastructure to reduce vehicle speeds and/or traffic volumes. LRRB relies on participants like you to improve the skills and knowledge of local transportation agencies through training, technical assistance, and technology transfer. This project will synthesize what others have done, experience, and/or learned.

The purpose of this brief survey of Minnesota local agencies is to gather general information regarding your use, experience, and lessons learned. Our hope is to hear from anyone in Minnesota regarding their traffic calming infrastructure implementation experience, process, and best practices; therefore, we’d rather receive partial answers and best guesses versus no replies (or putting aside because you don’t have time to look up exact answer). Thank you! 😊

The survey will take approximately 10 minutes.

This survey is due end of day, Friday, March 6th.
