What Can Be Done To Slow People Down In Town?

Traffic Calming, as the traffic people call it, happens all the time. It comes in many forms like:

• Speed bumps
• Curb extensions
• Chicanes
• Modal Filters
• Roundabouts
• Raised crosswalks
• Rumble strips
• Median diverters
• Dead-end streets
• Cul de sacs

Can you imagine the first time you drove to where ever on that? I would think that they lines being wonky would be reason enough to make that road even LESS safe than it was when the traffic fixers ran to the rescue.

Don't Do This Wacky Stuff In Montana

The last thing we need is THIS kind of street. Why you ask? Because we can't seem to get around a roundabout, the easiest of solutions. Having the street painter go all wonky on us isn't the answer either.

Did I mention It Looks Ridiculous?

It. Looks. Ridiculous.
