Traffic Calming is the modification of a roadway to discourage cut-through traffic on local residential streets. It is seen as a long-term goal to redirect traffic to more efficient thoroughfares, allowing neighborhoods to maintain their residential character.

Roadway modifications may include, but not be limited to, speed tables, roundabouts, rumble strips, diagonal diverters, modified intersections and/or a combination of two or more treatments. Traffic Engineering also utilizes a speed monitor board, which is an effective, temporary device to warn motorists of their existing speed.
