The SFMTA’s Residential Traffic Calming Program is a resident-directed program that implements traffic calming measures to reduce speeding on residential streets in San Francisco. The goal of the program is to create safer and more comfortable streets for people walking, bicycling, and driving.
Most often traffic calming involves physical safety improvements such as speed humps, speed cushions, speed tables, raised crosswalks, median islands, traffic circles, changes to lane widths, and lane shifting.
Learn more about application requirements from the SFMTA.
The application deadline is June 30, 2022.
The Transportation Authority has dedicated $1.2 million annually for the next two years to support planning, design, and construction related to the traffic calming program with funding from San Francisco’s half-cent sales tax for transportation.
