City of Pickering January 2003 Safer Streets Traffic Management Strategy ______________________________________________________________________________ Exhibit 6.1: Measure Chicane Curb Extension Types of Traffic Calming Measures TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES Description A series of curb extensions on alternating sides of a roadway, which narrow the roadway and require drivers to steer from one side of the roadway to the other to travel through the chicane. Typically, a series of at least three curb extensions is used. A horizontal intrusion of the curb into the roadway resulting in a narrower section of roadway. Curb Radius Reduction Directional Closure Diverter Full Closure Intersection Channelization On-Street Parking Raised Crosswalk Raised Intersection Raised Median Island Raised Median Through Intersection Right-In/Right-out Island Rumble Strip Sidewalk Extension Speed Hump Textured Crosswalk Traffic Circle The reconstruction of an intersection corner using a smaller radius, usually in the 3.0 m to 5.0 m range. A curb extension or vertical barrier extending to approximately the centreline of a roadway, effectively obstructing (prohibiting) one direction of traffic. A raised barrier placed diagonally across an intersection, that forces traffic to turn and prevents traffic from proceeding straight through the intersection. A barrier extending across the entire width of a roadway, which obstructs all motor vehicle traffic movements from continuing along the roadway. Raised islands located in an intersection, used to obstruct specific traffic movements and physically direct traffic through an intersection. The reduction of the roadway width available for vehicle movement by allowing motor vehicles to park adjacent and parallel to the curb. A marked pedestrian crosswalk at an intersection or mid-block location constructed at a higher elevation than the adjacent roadway. An intersection - including crosswalks - constructed at a higher elevation than the adjacent roadway. An elevated median constructed on the centreline of a two-way roadway to reduce an overall width of the adjacent travel lines. An elevated median located on the centreline of a two-way roadway through an intersection, which prevents left turns and through movements to and from the intersecting roadway. A raised triangular island at an intersection approach which obstructs left turns and through movements to and from the intersection street or driveway. Raised buttons, bars or grooves closely spaced at regular intervals on the roadway that create both noise and vibration in a moving vehicle. A sidewalk is continued across a local street intersection. For a “raised” sidewalk extension, it is continued at its original elevation, with the local roadway raised to the level of the sidewalk at the intersection. For an “unraised” sidewalk extension, the sidewalk is lowered to the level of the roadway. A raised area of a roadway, which deflects both the wheels and frame of a traversing vehicle. A crosswalk incorporating a textured and/or patterned surface which contrasts with the adjacent roadway. A raised island located in the centre of an intersection, which requires vehicles to travel through the intersection in a counter-clockwise direction around the island. 35
