PROJECT SLOW ZONE
Project Slow Zone is the City of Dublin's neighborhood traffic calming program.  Increasing safety and decreasing traffic speed and volume through our neighborhoods is top priority.  Building on proven practices of traffic calming, the City of Dublin will plan for and implement this program through the application of the 5 E's:  Education, Encouragement, Evaluation, Engineering, and Enforcement.

What is Traffic Calming?
Traffic calming is the combination of measures that reduce the negative effects of motor vehicle use, alter driver behavior, and improve conditions for pedestrians, bicyclists, and neighborhood residents.  

Traffic calming consists of physical design and other measures put in place on existing streets to reduce vehicle speeds and improve safety. 

Speed limit reductions on neighborhood streets

  • Community outreach and media campaign
  • Temporary and permanent engineering solutions
  • Traffic law enforcement and education
  • Evaluation with each approach
