Why Crestline Drive?

Recent traffic studies have shown that vehicles on Crestline Drive often exceed the posted speed limits, posing risks to pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers. Given its proximity to schools and residential areas, it’s crucial to implement measures that ensure the safety of all road users.

Proposed Solution – Speed Cushions

To mitigate speeding and improve safety, the City is proposing the installation of speed cushions—raised areas of pavement designed to slow down traffic without hindering emergency vehicles or buses. These measures aim to reduce vehicle speeds while maintaining smooth traffic flow.

The map below illustrates the proposed locations for the speed cushions along Crestline Drive. These locations have been selected based on traffic data and community feedback.
