About Traffic Calming
Traffic calming helps reduces the negative effects of traffic on neighborhood streets, communities, and public facilities like parks and schools. We use traffic calming techniques when we cannot address concerns like these any other way:
Before considering which specific traffic calming measures, we do a review. This review includes extensive public engagement. We will share information through this webpage and a public meeting, called a Public Information Center (PIC). You will have the opportunity to share your feedback through online surveys and at the PIC. We will also assess different alternatives based on social, economic and environmental effects.
Please read the Traffic Calming Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) using the tab below. It describes the traffic calming process and different types of traffic calming measures. You can also send us your questions there.

Please take our five-minute survey to let us know what you think.
At this stage, we are surveying residents to vote on whether or not they would like to see the review initiated. Your feedback is an important first step. To begin the traffic calming study, we need to have support from 25% of affected residents.
If we move ahead, there will be a second survey near the end of the traffic calming review. That survey would determine whether there is support to carry out the preferred plan developed by staff and residents. To build the traffic calming measures, half the affected residents must respond and we must have 60% in support of the preferred plan.
To request a paper copy of the survey, please contact Connor Payne at 519-741-2200 ext. 7374 or by email connor.payne@kitchener.ca
