Neighborhood Traffic Management Program

SIGNAGE

Signage that can be used as a neighborhood traffic management measure include:

• Truck Restriction Signs; and
• “Cross Traffic Does Not Stop” Signs.

Advantages

• Inexpensive
• Truck restrictions can reduce through truck traffic
• Does not slow emergency vehicles or buses

Disadvantages

• Requires regular maintenance
• Speed limit signs are not applicable because they do not necessarily change driver behavior. If speed limit is set unreasonably low, drivers are more likely to exceed it.
