Newtown Traffic Calming Guide: The purpose of the Traffic Calming Guide is to assist Newtown residents in gaining a better understanding of the tools available and steps necessary to seek traffic calming services and measures. The following sections of this guide give a more detailed description of the different levels of traffic calming and the decision-making and implementation process. It also identifies a
toolbox of traffic calming measures that range from education to enforcement to engineering, along with implementation processes to help neighborhoods identify and remedy local
conditions. This Traffic Calming Guide focuses on residential streets. The goal is to calm traffic on these local streets, allowing children and families to feel more secure in their own
