Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program (NTCP)

Feedback

The City has adopted a Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program (NTCP) (PDF) to address and resolve local neighborhood traffic concerns in a systematic and efficient manner. You can Submit a Request Online or through the MySantaClara App.

Issues that the NTCP addresses	commonly used measures
Obstructed line of sight/sight distance due to overgrowth of vegetation and parked vehicles Pedestrian and bicyclist safety Right-of-way control at intersections Parking control and prohibition Preventing cut-through traffic Minimizing vehicle volumes Decreasing vehicular speeding Preventing collisions	Increased police enforcement Electronic speed feedback signs Speed radar trailers Speed limit signs Pavement messages Striping narrow lanes Higher visibility crosswalks Warranted stop signs Turn restriction signs Intersection bulb-outs Chokers

The existing conditions and specific nature of the problem would need to be evaluated to determine the suitability of a traffic calming measure in a particular neighborhood. The NTCP provides residents and City staff with a formal process to achieve traffic calming objectives, which would require community outreach and input prior to implementation.
