A review of traffic calming measures is conducted to evaluate implementation and construction considerations within the US urban roadway and street system. Criteria for roadway design and traffic operations in the US are primarily established through two pivotal resource documents, A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) published by the Federal Highway Administration.
