ABSTRACT
Traditional traffic management uses physical measures and legislation to coerce. and mould driver behaviour to coax higher capacities out of the highway network, with improved levels of safety. Traffic calming now uses an expanded repertoire of measures and techniques to change driver's perception of an area. Many streets portray the impression that they are vehicular traffic routes that have some other uses of lesser importance, such as shopping streets or for residential access. Traffic calming can alter the balance and impress upon the driver that the street is primarily for shopping or residential use and that vehicular traffic is of secondary importance.
