Neighbourhood Traffic Management Guide

The City of Oshawa has completed the update of the Neighbourhood Traffic Management Guide (N.T.M.G.). Traffic Management (also referred to as traffic calming) is used to address speeding, volume, and traffic safety concerns in neighbourhoods.

The N.T.M.G. identifies new processes for selecting the most appropriate traffic management tools for urban City roads based on best practices from comparable cities and input from the community.

Key items included:

• a process for reviewing and implementing traffic management in residential neighbourhoods
• a policy for determining where in the city traffic management should be prioritized
• best practices for designing safe roads in new neighbourhoods
• a toolbox of traffic management measures that can be utilized to improve traffic safety
• warrants for 40 km/h speed limits and Community Safety Zones

If you would like to request traffic management measures in your neighbourhood to address vehicles speeding and/or volume concerns, please contact Service Oshawa.
