Paint, Posts, & Planters: How to Advance Road Safety with Traffic Calming Quick-Builds is a free webinar on designing & implementing quick-build pilots that benefit your community.

High-speed, car-oriented roads can be transformed into safe, multimodal streets for all users by reducing lane widths, limiting long sight-lines, and adding visual friction. Unfortunately, these projects involve a long and expensive planning, approval, design, and construction process, which often triggers vocal opposition.

A similar traffic-calming impact can be achieved with a temporary, low-cost installation consisting of paint, posts, and planters. These temporary installations are called quick-builds, demonstration projects, and/or pop-ups.

Presented by America Walks, this webinar focuses on using quick-build demonstration projects to build community support for permanent solutions.

Presentation Topics Include:

• Why narrow travel lanes & visual friction improve road safety
• Designing a quick-build traffic-calming project
• Requesting right-of-way permits & negotiating implementation
• Community participatory & media-friendly installation events
