Temporary Traffic Calming Curbs being installed Dec 5th
Posted on
The Village of Cumberland will utilize temporary traffic calming curbs (TC curbs), also known as Calgary Curbs, to enhance pedestrian safety at several key locations and crosswalks throughout the Village that do not meet current pedestrian design standards. TC curbs help narrow the street which encourages drivers to travel at lower speeds. When used at crosswalks, TC curbs reduce crossing distances and provide a protected, visible space for pedestrians to stage before crossing. Three crosswalks along Fourth Street will be the first locations for these TC curbs to be implemented. Once the road corridor is reconstructed in future capital projects then the TC curbs can be redeployed to other locations around the Village. This project was made possible through the BC Vision Zero In Road Safety Grant Program https://www.visionzerobc.ca/
