MODIFYINGSTREETSCAPECHICANES/SLOW POINTSChicanes are a series of two to three curbextensions that alternate from one side of thestreet to the other forming S-shaped curveson what would be an otherwise straightroadway. Slow points are curb extensionsthat narrow a roadway, sometimes allowingonly one car at a time to pass. This treatmentis used to reduce vehicle speeds.In some cases, this tool can be designed as aone-lane zone which allows only one vehicleat a time to pass, requiring vehicles at bothends to stop or yield before proceedingthrough. This creates delay for motorists andcan reduce cut-through traffic as a result.PUBLICPARTICIPATIONAPPROVALREQUIREMENTSTRAFFICCONSIDERATIONSThe requestor should be proactive throughout the process in assisting the City inobtaining support and should also serve as a member of the Traffic Committee, ifone is formed.Adjacent property support is needed.
