§ 15-97. Purpose.  


Latest version.
  • The purpose of this Part is to establish regulations and guidelines for the review and implementation of traffic calming measures to address speeding and high cut-through traffic volumes on Borough streets in order to maintain, preserve and protect the public health, safety and welfare. Traffic calming measures are generally defined as a combination of mainly physical measures that reduce the negative effects of motor vehicle use, alter driver behavior, and improve conditions for non-motorized street users. Traffic calming measures are not traffic control devices, but rather physical parts of a roadway's design.
