Issues Addressed

• Cut-through traffic (primary)

Applications

• Local streets and local collectors.
  

Advantages 

• Effectively reduces cut-through traffic.
  
• Restricts movements into or out of a street while maintaining full access and movement within the street block for residents.
  
• Retains bicycle and pedestrian access.
• Creates a space for street landscaping.
  

Disadvantages

• Restricts residents' access.
  
• May create congestion on other streets.
• May restrict emergency vehicle access.

Evaluation Considerations

• A turn restriction sign must have failed to alleviate the problem of excessive cut-through traffic on the affected street.
• A trip diversion of about 10 percent on each of the adjacent neighborhood streets should be expected.

Design/Installation Considerations

• Accommodate bicycles and emergency vehicles going in either direction.
