In HomeTown we have taken the best of these new traffic-calming methods and combined them with historic, timeless, human-scale neighborhood design principles.

This is the first device – the traffic circle near the entry. You can only drive in it at about 15mph. This is the gazebo in the traffic circle. It has become the icon of HomeTown.

This is the second device we use – a safety platform combined with a neckdown. It has a design speed of 12mph according to the Netherlands street design manual.

This is the third device – neckdowns combined with sharp offsetting turns at each end of each Neighborhood Park.
