The NTMP provides a process for identifying, evaluating, and addressing undesirable traffic conditions related to speeding and excessive volumes in residential subdivisions.
Traffic calming device requests
Residents can submit a request to have a traffic study done to determine if the roadway qualifies for any traffic calming devices. If the neighborhood has a homeowners association, requests for the study must be submitted by the HOA. Subject roads must have a minimum peak hour volume of 100 vehicles and a percentage of cut-through traffic to even be considered for traffic calming. Enclosed communities and courts are not eligible for the program. Requests can be submitted to Glen Hebel to Learn more about what federal, state, or county legislative district I am in and the name of my legislators to open the Tourism Award Process Powerpoint, engineer with the Division of Highways.
Evaluations
The evaluations are conducted on a point system to determine the level of traffic calming measures that may be used.
Level 1 measures are more passive and include educational methods and special pavement markings.
Level 2 measures include traffic control devices and physical measures such as speed humps, chokers, islands, roundabouts, etc.
If the evaluation finds that a street has a score high enough to warrant traffic calming measures, and if there is the required approval of the affected residents, Harford County will install appropriate traffic management devices.
