Traffic Calming Program

Traffic Calming

The City of Sterling Heights has established a Traffic Calming Program to address vehicle speeding and traffic safety concerns on City streets. The program allows the City Wide Traffic Calming Task Force to collaborate with residents to properly identify concerns, conduct studies and implement appropriate solutions that help discourage and reduce vehicle speeds, distracted driving, reckless driving behaviors and improve safety on City streets for all modes of travel.

The goal is zero fatalities and serious injuries by 2050. To help reach this goal, the City has created a Comprehensive Transportation Safety Action Plan (CTSAP), a strategic, data-driven, and collaborative framework to eliminate fatalities and serious injuries in the City and improve transportation safety for all road users.

Pilot Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program

To enhance the safety of our neighborhoods, the city has launched a pilot traffic calming program to help reduce vehicle speeds and improve pedestrian safety. As part of the pilot program, the city has identified specific neighborhood streets with traffic safety concerns and will be testing a variety of permanent and temporary traffic calming measures. These measures will provide valuable data on the effectiveness of traffic calming measures and whether the measures should be implemented on a wider scale.

Check out the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program for a more detailed overview of the process from submitting a request to implementation.
