How to Get Traffic Calming In Your Neighborhood

Please check the Traffic Calming overview first to see what traffic calming can do and how it can help your neighborhood.

Now that you are familiar with the Traffic Calming principles, are you interested in improving the streets in your neighborhood? Let us help! If you're interested in bringing traffic calming to your neighborhood, please download and fill out our Traffic Calming Request Form and mail it to SFMTA/DPT at the address provided below.

Please make sure that you have at least ten people from your neighborhood block sign the petition before you send it. Once we hear from you, we can begin to determine how we can help. DPT/SFMTA receives a large number of requests every year, and while all are carefully reviewed, traffic calming may not be the best approach for every area.

All requests are reviewed and ranked according to established criteria, such as speed and volume of traffic, and a number of other safety concerns. The areas in the most immediate need of traffic calming, those with the greatest safety concerns, will be treated first. All of the city-funded projects need to go through this process. Projects with outside funding may be able to be treated more quickly.

If you would like more information about private funding opportunities for a traffic calming project in your neighborhood, please contact Livable Streets. Please keep in mind that the Traffic Calming Request Form is intended for local streets and school areas only. If your main concern is for a commercial street or major arterial, please contact Livable Streets to get the priority list.
