Don Diego Traffic Calming Project - 2002

Don Diego Traffic Calming - 2002 plan


From North to South (=left to right in the pictures), they are:

Narrow the southbound entry. Currently, starting at the traffic light on Cerillos, there is a lot of wide asphalt, allowing cars to reach considerable speed as they round the curve leading into the straight section of Don Diego. For people living near that curve, exit and entry is hazardous. Narrowing the entry and accentuating the curves will naturally lead to lower speeds in this section.

Intersection with Beuna Vista/Don Cubero: There is pedestrian traffic here across Don Diego, including children, going to the little park on Pueblo Drive. Here we will have a raised intersection, using colored or textured material, and a marked crosswalk.

Along the length of the straight trajectory, we will have 5 speed humps (not bumps), spaced at about 250'. This spacing is such that 25 mph is the most comfortable speed for negociating this section.

Intersection with Camino de los Marquez: There is a lot of pedestrian and bicycle traffic here of people going to the shops and restaurants along Cordova. Another raised intersection is planned here. Again colors and textures as the budget allows, and marked crosswalks.
