Resources for Creating a Pop-Up Traffic Calming Demonstration
A how-to guide for concerned citizens and tactical urbanists interested in slowing down traffic in their community.
Marielle Brown shares a list of resources for how to plan and executive traffic calming demonstrations.
All of the resources are available for free online, and they include books made available online, like the series of design guidelines from the National Association of City Transportation Officials and published by Island Press. There are also resources made available online produced by the Street Plans Collaborative and a website called WikiBlock, hosted by Better Block. The latter "offers downloadable patterns for building street furniture and traffic calming tools with plywood," according to Brown.
