Speeding Mitigation (Traffic Calming)

The City of Austin implemented a revised Local Area Traffic Management Program (LATM) effective January 1, 2012. Part of this program is speeding mitigation, commonly referred to as traffic calming. A person who submits a request for speeding mitigation must reside on the street requested, and also must carry out various responsibilities outlined in the request packet, including providing evidence of public support, including a petition signed by a representative of each residence on the street segment requested if the city determines it is eligible for speeding mitigation.

Requests may to be submitted to the City of Austin Transportation Department beginning January 18, 2012. The first 60 requests received will be processed initially; others are to be processed in the next cycle, which will be conducted twice each year.

The NSCNA Traffic Committee is coordinating submission of initial requests for speeding mitigation. Additional information may be requested by email to: traffic@nscna.org
