“…This includes techniques and strategies that generally are used to mitigate congestion, minimize delays, ensure smooth, fast, but safe and economically reasonable conditions for vehicular movement from one place to another and are intended to improve the traffic safety for all road users. Traffic calming is a part of speed management and involves altering of the motorist behavior on a street or on a street network along with other legal, planning or physical modification to a road layout in order to improve the environmental quality, safety for vulnerable road users and reduce accident numbers and severity by lowering the speeds [3,[4][5][6]. Traffic calming can be considered in four levels:…”

Driving speed is one of the most important factors in road safety, and speed not only affects the severity of a crash, but is also related to the risk of being involved in a crash. Inappropriate speed is responsible for more than a third of all fatal accidents occurring on the roads. In Poland, the problem of speeding drivers is widely common. Hence, effective speed management and enforcement of speed limits on existing road plays an important role. Possible solutions for rural roads are very limited and have focused mainly on administrative speed limitations and speed cameras enforcement. However, due to their limited effectiveness, new solutions are still being sought. High expectations are associated with the latest introduction of sectional speed system in Poland. The aim of this paper is to examine the efficiency of the sectional speed control system implemented on chosen sections of national roads in Podlaskie province. For this purpose, speed surveys included road segments where the system for sectional speed control had been already implemented, as well as in order to evaluate its effectiveness, speed measurements were conducted on other national roads with no further specific restrictions. In addition, to evaluate the possible influence of the sections monitored by the system on driver's behaviour on adjacent segments, the relevant speed data was collected on adherent sectors. On the basis of the conducted measurements, high effectiveness of sectional speed control system was stated together with its impact on adjoining segments, but also some deficiency in terms of speed homogeneity has been revealed.

“…An urban planner with the help of some local residents reconstructed a street in the city of Delft to calm the traffic. The basic principle was to merge road users, so that private cars will have to reduce their speed [3]. The basic principle of Traffic Calming is to reduce the vehicle speeds so that there is a reduction in rate of accidents, pollution etc., and vehicles travelling at speeds below 30 kmph can move on road along with pedestrians with relative safety [9].…”

With increasing number of road accidents, there arises a demand for the measures and techniques that would help in reducing the occurrence and fatalities of such accidents. The term Traffic Calming is relatively new to India and presents itself as a promising strategy to curb the increasing number of road accidents. The present study is about the various measures that can be adopted to attain the objective of fewer road mishaps. For this, a Stakeholder Survey was conducted on Mahal Road, Jagatpura, Jaipur to understand the issues related to the increase in traffic volume over the past few years. Results show that the increase in traffic volume on Mahal Road is attributed to the infrastructural development in the region owing to commercialization of the area in the recent years. Moreover, Mahal Road lacks the availability of public transport and utilities like pedestrian facilities and cycle tracks. Finally, some conclusions are drawn from the survey results and recommendations made for improving the road users experience.
