Also known as TCD’s, Traffic Calming Devices are relatively low cost solutions for detouring speeding, vandalism, theft, trespassing and other behaviors that put life and property at risk along highways, roadsides and private property.
DEFINING
TRAFFIC CALMING
"The primary purpose of traffic calming is to support the livability and vitality of residential and commercial areas through improvements in non-motorist safety, mobility, and comfort. These objectives are typically achieved by reducing vehicle speeds or volumes on a single street or a street network. Traffic calming measures consist of horizontal, vertical, lane narrowing, roadside, and other features that use self-enforcing physical or psycho-perception means to produce desired effects."
BENEFITS OF TCD'S
Purpose is to reduce speed, encourage drivers to follow traffic laws, and be alert and cautious. The psychological effect will influence behavior when officers are not physically present.
Whether due to staffing or budgetary issues, TCD’S are a cost saving investment that has been shown to have over 85% the same efficacy rate as a stationary officer.
The perceived presence of a law enforcement vehicle is an excellent detourent for more than reducing speeding. It’s a great solution to reduce vandalism, theft, and loitering as well on private property.
