Abstract
According to a definition by Institute of Transportation Engineers traffic calming is a set of measures, the purposes of which is to reduce the negative effects of motor vehicle use, alter driver behaviour and improve conditions for nonmotorised street users. That includes reduction of traffic volume, thus noise and air pollution, improvement of road safety level, and the quality of life. The beginning of traffic calming reaches 1960s and 1970s in Great Britain, Germany, Netherlands and Denmark and is connect ed with pedestrianisation – an idea to prioritise walking by closing the streets or to slow car speed down to walking pace.
