The Traffic Calming 18 Locations Project, approved by City Council in November 2022, seeks to improve safety on residential streets by implementing a range of traffic calming measures. These measures may include speed humps, rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFB), enhanced crosswalks, installation of stop signs, improved signage and striping, pavement markings surface-mounted lane delineations, and traffic circles. These improvements are designed to reduce vehicle speeds while maintaining efficient traffic flow. These typically involve smaller-scale improvements that can be efficiently implemented by the City of Richmond's Public Works crews.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
To request traffic calming measures for your neighborhood, please visit the Traffic Calming Program page. Requests are reviewed in the order they are received. A team of staff and consultants will evaluate each request, including consultation with the Fire and Police Departments. This process will determine if speed humps are the most suitable solution, if alternative traffic calming measures would be more effective, or if the request does not meet the established criteria for implementation.
