Different types of traffic calming are appropriate on different types of streets – most often it involves physical safety improvements such as speed humps, speed cushions, speed tables, raised crosswalks, median islands, traffic circles, changes to lane widths, and lane shifting. These measures have been proven to reduce speeding and increase safety.

Any station in these areas will remove three parking spaces. Continue reading “SFMTA: Sunnyside bike-share stations” →
