Traffic Calming

Our recent poll indicated that the vast majority of you believe that speeding is a problem not just on the main arterials of Piedras and Alabama, but on our neighborhood streets as well. 93% of the respondents said that speeding is a problem.

Traffic calming is a central concern in the City of El Paso now and, in fact, the City has begun a program to help better manage and calm traffic in our neighborhoods. I really recommend that you take a bit of time and at least scan through the Citizen Guidebook for the City of El Paso Traffic Management Program.

Our Neighborhood Association will apply for some traffic calming measures. At the very least we will get some expert guidance from our traffic engineers.

Just Google "Traffic Calming" and you will find a host of sites. TrafficCalming.org is a good source for information as are the pages on traffic calming from the Institute of Traffic Engineers.
