Traffic Calming Application.pdfAPPLICATION FOR TRAFFIC CALMING
City of Atlantic Beach
800 Seminole Road
Atlantic Beach, FL 32233
Traffic calming uses physical design and other measures to improve safety for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists. It is a
tool to combat speeding and other unsafe behaviors of drivers in the neighborhoods. It aims to encourage safer, more
responsible driving and potentially reduce traffic flow. Such measures include signage, lane narrowing, curb extensions,
chokers, road diets, pedestrian refuges, bike lanes, sidewalks, and changing the surface material of the road, etc.
Each traffic calming request must contain the completed information as indicated. Once completed, staff will use data to
review the application. Multiple departments are responsible to review and coordination of the application. If the city
does not have recent traffic/speed counts the city will undertake this endeavor. Expect the entire process to take up to a
month to be reviewed by staff. Not all applications will warrant traffic calming and/or improvements are budgeted.
Each request must provide the name of the street on which a study is requested and the boundaries of the street segment.
Boundary limits may change at the discretion of the City. Please use the street names for boundary limits, not block ranges.

request is being submitted from a neighborhood association, please provide the name, address, and telephone number
of the duly authorized representative of the neighborhood association. The contact person will receive all
correspondence and will be responsible for gathering evidence of support.

30 mph.
