Definitions

Striping: road surface markings (paint) that is used on paved roads to provide guidance.

Traffic Calming: the deliberate slowing of traffic in residential areas.

Greenway Projects: These projects aim to make streets safer for pedestrians and cyclists by giving them priority and slowing down vehicle speeds. Typical treatments include updated signage, pavement markings and other infrastructure improvements. Greenways will create safer and more convenient paths for cyclists and pedestrians by discouraging excessive motor vehicle speeds.
