I'm excited to see this communication about traffic calming. I add for consideration that cut-through (ie. - to avoid an upcoming red light) auto traffic tends to speed more than local traffic. In areas with excessive cut-through cars, a solution I would like to see considered is the introduction of modal filters that block car travel but still allow bike and pedestrian travel. Recent examples of this can be found in the UK deployed under initiatives labeled as Low-Traffic Neighborhoods (LTNs) (https://www.lowtrafficneighbourhoods.org). While I strongly support the automated traffic enforcement methods cited in the communication passive control methods, such as modal filters, seem to me cheaper and comparably effective when thoughtfully deployed. Thanks!
