Transportation Safety
By implementing transportation safety initiatives, we can create safer streets, reduce the likelihood and severity of collisions, promote active transportation, and enhance the overall quality of life for Medicine Hatters.
We can influence driver behaviour with speed limits and other regulations, built environment like traffic calming measures, or road markings and signage to teach the rules of the road.
Encourage or discourage a certain behaviour with regulations like posted speed limits and other laws.
Build infrastructure that induces a certain behaviour - this is called traffic calming.
Signage and road markings
From pedestrian crossings, one-way streets, or roads where bicycles have the right of way, travellers rely on road signs and markings to get where they are going safely.
