Reducing Speeding

If your neighborhood is experiencing traffic problems, such as cars speeding down residential streets or using them as shortcuts between major thoroughfares, the city has a program to help. The Residential Traffic Management Program takes a graduated, three-phase approach to help control speeding on Carlsbad residential streets, beginning with less intrusive measures and works through a progression of steps to achieve the program's goals.

• Phase one includes enforcement, education and signs. If those don't solve the problem,
• Phase two includes residential stop signs, speed cushions and speed tables, if not effective,
• Phase three features traditional traffic calming to narrow the roadway, turn restrictions, traffic circles and other more costly measures.
