TOOLS TO MANAGE SPEEDS
We can manage vehicular speeds through the design of a street. There are three general categories:
• Street narrowing • Horizontal deflection • Vertical deflection
![Page 16: June 12, 2017 Commonwealth Salon, Boston Public Library...•Public meeting June 2016 •Online survey •Data collection, field visits •Alternative development . PROJECT GOALS •Manage](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042913/5f490cc929193a4ce56b0838/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
SPEED MANAGEMENT: NARROWING
Narrowing streets slows drivers by creating friction along the edges, and can be accomplished by real or apparent narrowing.
Narrower lanes Fewer lanes Sense of “enclosure” – Trees, lighting, furniture, buildings Curb extensions Crossing islands
![Page 17: June 12, 2017 Commonwealth Salon, Boston Public Library...•Public meeting June 2016 •Online survey •Data collection, field visits •Alternative development . PROJECT GOALS •Manage](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042913/5f490cc929193a4ce56b0838/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
SPEED MANAGEMENT: HORIZONTAL
Horizontal deflection slows drivers by forcing a zig-zag motion that is uncomfortable at high speeds. Chicanes or other serpentine design
Crossing islands Modern roundabouts, neighborhood
traffic circles

PROJECT GOALS •Manage](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042913/5f490cc929193a4ce56b0838/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
SPEED MANAGEMENT: VERTICAL
Vertical deflection slows drivers by changing the profile of a street. Vertical deflection forces drivers to go up and over something. Speed humps Speed tables/tabled intersections

ADDITIONAL TOOLS
ENFORCEMENT • Police enforcement is a valuable tool, most effective in
combination with engineering changes. • Automated enforcement requires state legislative action. It is
potentially a longer-term tool. • Parking enforcement curbs use of potentially dangerous
locations, such as being too close to a crosswalk or double-parking.
EDUCATION • Encourage safe and predictable user behavior with street teams. • Changing social norms through peer-to-peer discussions and
citywide campaigns

ARLINGTON-BERKELEY BLOCK
How do we best: • Connect bike facilities from Arlington and the
Fielder Bridge? Provide inbound bike access without encouraging sidewalk riding/contraflow on Beacon?
• Maintain capacity for right-turn access to Storrow from Beacon?
• Maintain capacity for thru access to Storrow from Berkeley?
• Consider residential parking concerns?
