Signage

Signage that can be used as a neighborhood traffic management measure include:

  • Truck Restriction Signs; and
  • “Cross Traffic Does Not Stop” Signs.
  • Sample Sign: Cross Traffic Does Not Stop.

    Advantages

    • Inexpensive.
    • Truck restrictions can reduce through truck traffic.
    • Does not slow emergency vehicles or buses.

    Disadvantages

    • Requires regular maintenance
    • Speed limit signs are not applicable because they do not necessarily change driver behavior. If speed limit is set unreasonably low, drivers are more likely to exceed it.
