Effects of Traffic Calming Measures on Vehicle Speed Control and Road Safety

Abstract:

This thesis introduced the origin and function of traffic calming measures in solving road safety problem and reducing vehicle speed to make the environment more secure, also introduced several different types of basic traffic calming measures. Facts showed that using traffic measures can improve the safety of traffic environment, reduce vehicle speed and decrease accidents and pollutions. Therefore, traffic calming measures should be highly valued by governments and policy makers in constructing a city with harmony and prosperity.
