Each request may require data collection and analysis by the Traffic Safety Coordinator prior to review by the Traffic Safety Committee. Requests are assigned to one of five categories; Traffic Calming, Parking and Signage, Intersection Control, Pedestrian Safety or Other (see Figure 1). Figure 1. Traffic Safety Requests Reviewed in 2022 After requests are reviewed by the Committee, they are categorized as A (recommended action), B (recommended denial/no change) or C (recommend further study) items in traffic safety reports. Many requests are handled solely by the Traffic Safety Coordinator; these are generally requests for increased police enforcement or for matters governed by existing City policies (crosswalks, signage, traffic signals, etc.). These are categorized as D items.
