Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program

Managed by Public Works, this program improves neighborhood safety by addressing speeding and cut-through traffic. Using quick-build methods, we install safety features such as speed humps, traffic circles, median islands, and enhanced crosswalks to create a more walkable and livable environment for Richmond residents.
