Neighbourhood Traffic Calming Plan
The City is creating safer roads through the Neighbourhood Traffic Calming Plan, also known as the Neighbourhood Area Traffic Calming Policy, Design and Speed Management Plan. This project is one of the major road safety initiatives identified under MoveSmart.
Now that the City has a stronger sense of which tools are best suited for Vaughan, a new traffic calming toolbox (a selection of traffic calming measures) has been developed. The goal of this toolbox is to help the City address road safety concerns and ensure appropriate traffic calming and speed management approaches are integrated into new and existing roads in Vaughan.
Five pilot neighbourhoods have been selected to pilot the new toolbox. Appropriate traffic calming and speed management approaches have been carefully selected and are being installed.
From summer 2023 until spring 2024, the City will work closely with key stakeholders, including community members, Vaughan Fire and Rescue Service, York Region, and road safety partners, such as York Regional Police, to evaluate and monitor how the measures are working.
The pilot neighbourhoods are:
- New Kleinburg (Ward 1)
- Sonoma Heights (Ward 2)
- Vellore Village (Ward 3)
- Carrville Corners (Ward 4)
- Lakeview Estates (Ward 5)
