Dallas City Council member Chad West is pursuing traffic calming measures as a way to cut back on speeding.
asked city staff to conduct a traffic island demonstration in the Winnetka Heights historic district. The results of the study are in, and they look pretty promising.. Later by phone, he broke down the findings of the demonstration, which aimed to address speeding on Edgefield Avenue.Denton has them
The average car speed dropped from 25 mph to 23 mph, according to the study. But even though the velocity hasn’t significantly improved, the total number of speeders was slashed from around 16% to 9.5%., and that neighbors will be consulted as to whether they’d like to make the neighborhood traffic island permanent. To his understanding, it’s the first demo of such an island in the entire city.
West personally likes the island: As a driver, he can continue moving without having to come to a complete stop. And as a runner, he feels as though drivers pay closer attention while navigating the island than they would without — or even with — stop signs. Before the traffic island, there wasn’t anything to slow down drivers on Edgefield for several blocks, Gooch said. It concerns him when cars zoom by at 30 mph, particularly given that he has a young son.
