Attachment 6
Traffic Calming Plan January 2024
Guiding Principles:
1. Traffic Calming – The City of Coronado will Install traffic calming measures to increase safety and enhance the livability of communities.
● Use traffic calming techniques in appropriate locations to reduce vehicle speeds or discourage shortcutting traffic.
● Choose traffic calming devices to best fit the situation for which it is intended. ● Place traffic calming devices so that the full benefit of calming will be realized with little or no negative effect upon the overall safety or quality of the roadway. ● Design traffic calming devices appropriately, including consideration for accessibility, drainage, underground utilities, adequate visibility, the needs of emergency, sanitation, and transit vehicles, and landscaping. ● Weigh the undesired effects of traffic calming devices (increased travel times, emergency response times, noise, and traffic diversion) against their prescribed benefits.”
2. Neighborhood Streets – The City of Coronado will Design or retrofit streets to improve walkability, strengthen connectivity, and enhance community identity. Emphasize the provision of high-quality pedestrian and bikeway connections to village centers, and local schools.”
