Streets with a <br />center turn lane may still qualify for traffic calming. <br /> <br />Drainage Characteristics <br /> <br />Streets considered for traffic calming should have good drainage qualities. Potential drainage <br />impacts must be considered when evaluating whether a traffic calming installation is <br />appropriate. <br /> <br />Street Grades <br /> <br />Certain traffic calming measures should not be employed on streets with grades exceeding five <br />percent. When traffic calming measures are installed on streets with sustained downgrades, special <br />care should be taken to ensure that vehicles can navigate the installation safely at appropriate speeds. <br /> <br />Sight Distance <br /> <br />Traffic calming devices should generally be installed only where the minimum safe stopping sight <br />distance (as defined in AASHTO's A Policy on Geometric Design of Streets) can be provided. For <br />mid-block locations on typical residential streets, a minimum safe stopping sight distance allowance <br />would normally be at least 200 feet, the nominal stopping sight distance for vehicles traveling at 30 <br />mph. Depending on the character of the intersection and the traffic control, sight distance <br />requirements might be less for installations located within the influence area of an intersection. <br /> <br />Traffic Speeds <br /> <br />When traffic calming is installed to address speeding concerns, studies will be performed to confirm <br />the magnitude of the speeding problem. The number of vehicles exceeding speed limits, percentage <br />of all vehicles exceeding speed limits, 85th percentile speed, and the speed of fastest vehicles may all be <br />considered when evaluating whether a speeding problem exists. <br /> <br />Traffic calming devices should generally be installed only on streets where the posted or prima facia <br />6.3.B. - Page 21
