Search Tools: Overview
One of the primary purposes of this site is to provide County and City Engineers and interested citizens with an online, searchable database of traffic calming projects that have been implemented in Minnesota.
The database is not a comprehensive list of all traffic calming projects implemented in Minnesota, but only those projects that were provided by city and county engineers in Minnesota and research findings from previous LRRB funded traffic calming studies.
The database presents before-and-after data (if available) along with qualitative assessments of effectiveness. While the Minnesota traffic calming database consists predominately of engineering approaches, it should be noted that many communities encourage, or require, neighborhood residents to first try an education or enforcement approach prior to implementing an engineered response.
Search Tools »
The database can be searched by the following topics:
- Traffic calming technique »
- Road classification »
- Problem that initiated the traffic calming project »
- Agency that submitted the project data »
If you are a city/county engineer in Minnesota and would like to add a project to this database or for more information about the Traffic Calming in Minnesota Web site, send an email to mnltap@umn.edu.
