Traffic Calming Policy

A new traffic calming policy was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on September 23, 2013 as the previous speed hump policy sunset in July of 2010. This new policy provides a mechanism for local residents to initiate traffic calming in their neighborhoods and allows for the use of appropriate traffic calming tools to help alleviate the negative impacts caused by traffic and speeding vehicles. This traffic calming policy is designed to coordinate the collaboration of County staff and citizens, in an effort to produce effective traffic calming throughout Santa Fe County’s Communities on Santa Fe County maintained roads.
