Traffic calming curbs coming to Winnipeg streets
The city announced the temporary measure on Monday, saying the premade curbs – often referred to as TC curbs – are affordable; will minimize conflict between pedestrians, cyclists and cars; and will reduce safety risks until the installation of permanent traffic calming measures.
The city added it selected locations for TC curbs in areas where speeding is known to be an issue, intersections have wide corners and visibility at crosswalks is poor.
The curbs, which will be installed in August, will be made of yellow concrete and marked by signage and poly posts. Winnipeg is also working with Art City Inc. to install asphalt art at some locations to increase visibility and beautify the area.
The city will monitor driver behaviour on streets with TC curbs and make adjustments as needed.
