Mayor Slay Signs City Traffic Calming Ordinance

Trailnet’s work to show city officials and residents the look, feel, and benefits of traffic calming solutions has paid off!  Now that Mayor Slay has signed the City of St. Louis Traffic Calming Policy into law, there will be a growing number of slower, safer residential streets in St. Louis.  

This diagram shows the process that will be followed by the City’s Aldermen, Street Department, and Board of Public Service (BPS) to request, evaluate and install traffic calming improvements to residential streets. Most traffic calming improvements involve speed humps (less abrupt than speed bumps) and narrowed streets that reduce the speed of motor-vehicle traffic and improve safety for people who walk and bike.
