Traditional traffic calming projects implemented in local streets create a high degree of public expectation that drivers will immediately slow down. Changing driver behaviour is a long-term process that involves several aspects including traffic calming installations, community participation, law enforcement and driver responsibility. The Moolanda Boulevard Driver Behaviour Modification Program was a trial developed to measure the effects of traditional traffic calming, perceptual countermeasures, education, enforcement and community perceptions and participation against a known traffic engineering issue. This paper will discuss the City of Joondalup's findings with respect to the community's expectations and perceptions with regard to the specific traffic calming and driver behaviour change initiatives and their effectiveness.
