Abstract

Originally written as a contribution to what is intended eventually to be a national guide to good local area traffic management (LATM) practice, this paper explains the common ground and differences between LATM and traffic calming. The origins of the latter term are explained, and attention is drawn to the difficulty in actually defining what it means. A working definition in terms of outcomes rather than actions is offered. The matrix of traffic calming actions, distinguishing between levels of action, and between management actions and societal changes, is explained. Finally, suggestions are given on a role for local government as a vehicle for social change, promoting traffic/environment education, and in dealing with the problem of important local roads. (A)
