There are many methods of traffic calming. Some of the most common types of traffic calming measures are:
  • community safety zones – where speed fines are doubled;
  • speed display boards;
  • lane narrowing (physical or with line painting);
  • speed cushions;
  • speed humps and tables;
  • raised crosswalks and intersections;
  • in-road bollards;
  • on-street parking;
  • traffic circles,
  • traffic buttons and roundabouts;
  • curb extensions;
  • raised median islands;
  • textured crosswalks;
  • targeted enforcement;
  • lawn signs requesting drivers to slow down.
Stop signs are generally not recommended as a traffic calming measure.
