Neighborhood Traffic Calming

When traffic problems on neighborhood streets become a daily occurrence, families feel threatened. To ensure people feel safe in their neighborhoods, Bellevue established the Neighborhood Traffic Calming program. With a range of remedies, from portable radar displays to traffic circles to increased police traffic patrols, the city reduces cut-through traffic, speeding, overflow parking and other traffic-related ills.

The Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program takes a phased approach. During the first year, Phase I, the city focuses on changing driver behavior through education and enforcement measures. Most often, these first-year measures are effective in addressing traffic concerns. However, if they are not, Phase II begins, and physical treatments such as speed humps and traffic circles are considered.
