Traffic Calming Pilot Project
The Township of King has created a Traffic Calming Strategy that is now available for public review. Our goal is a slower, safer KING.
The focus of this program is on residential streets where excessive speeding is prevalent, particularly in neighbourhoods with high numbers of cyclists and/or pedestrians sharing the road with motorized traffic. It is not about reducing congestion, reducing trucks or eliminating cut-through traffic.
Traffic calming is creating a safer roadside environment by reducing speeds and encouraging responsible driver behavior.
We thank everyone who has already provide input to help shape and guide this new traffic calming strategy for King Township.

You get to play the engineer! Using the map feature, please place pins where you think traffic calming measures would be most effective. You can select both the type of traffic calming measure and the place it should be installed. Scroll to the bottom of the page and press the Go To Map button to start placing pins on the map.
Here are what each type of traffic calming measure looks like:
On-road pavement marking (various types)
Lane narrowing
Lateral shift
Radar speed boards
Raised median
Vertical Centerline Treatment (Flexible Bollards)
