Traffic Calming Devices  
   

Individual traffic calming devices are generally categorized into four groups:

  • Vertical Deflection
  • Horizontal Deflection
  • Volume Control
  • Supporting

Vertical deflection impedes motorists by placing raised devices on roads, horizontal deflection narrows roads or deflects motorists to the right or left, volume control restricts access to certain roads and neighbourhoods, and supporting devices may not have anything to do with traffic calming, but are built in support of its devices.
