The Roy City Traffic Calming Program is currently active to help address resident concerns related to speeding, traffic volume, and neighborhood safety on local streets. The program provides a structured process for evaluating traffic concerns and identifying solutions that improve safety while maintaining access and mobility for residents, pedestrians, cyclists, and emergency services.
Methodology for identifying solutions
Through the use of community input, traffic data, and engineering review, the City works to identify measures intended to encourage safer driving behaviors and enhance neighborhood quality of life.
Step-by-step evaluation process
The program's process begins when a request form is submitted to Roy City. Following submission, the City reviews the request and collects traffic data. Public Works and the Police Department then evaluate possible solutions. If necessary, neighborhood support is gathered, with final decisions based on safety, data, and available funding.
Program limitations and criteria
Certain limitations apply to the program. Not all streets qualify for traffic calming devices, and stop signs are not utilized to control speeding. The City considers non-physical solutions, such as enforcement, signage, and education, before considering physical devices. Physical devices require both City approval and neighborhood support.
Non-physical safety measures
Non-physical traffic calming options include increased police enforcement, speed feedback signs, and pavement markings or signage.
How to submit requests
Completed request forms can be emailed to admin@royutah.gov or delivered via mail or drop-off at the Roy City Municipal Center located at 5051 South 1900 West.
