Traffic Programs

Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program

About the Program:

The City of Aurora’s Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program aims to respond to resident concerns regarding speeding and cut-through traffic on residential (local and collector) streets and improve the quality of life in neighborhoods using a set of traffic calming strategies.

Strategies range from enforcement and educational actions to a more comprehensive physical infrastructure approach.

Traffic calming tools include permanent speed radar signs, speed cushions, mini roundabouts, full intersection closures, and others, and are applied based on the local roadway and land use context and specific project need.

The primary focus of the program is to verify eligible projects that are well supported by the community and that properly address identified safety criteria.

Traffic Control Plans (TCPs)

What is a Traffic Control Plan?
A traffic control plan is a technical diagram with information about how to occupy the public right of way.

The regulations for traffic control plans are set forth in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and the city of Aurora Specification (available on the city’s website)
There are many private companies who design and implement traffic control plans in the city of Aurora.
Do I need a Traffic Control Plan for the permit I’m applying for?
No: If you are not impacting the public right-of-way (streets, sidewalk or alleys). You do not need a traffic control plan for private streets.
