How does traffic calming affect safety?
In traffic calmed settings around the world, collisions and pedestrian accidents have decreased greatly and severe injuries have decreased as much as 80 percent. Along Route 50 and in the villages, where the traffic calming features are proposed, the slower pace of traffic will result in a safer environment for motorists, drivers of farm equipment and pedestrians alike. Aldie and Upperville residents suffer especially from high-speed through traffic.
