摘要：	Recent efforts in the United States to include traffic-calming design in new developments are described. These efforts prevent the need to fix speeding and cut-through traffic problems later. It is clearly more cost-effective to design residential streets for speed and volume control than to go back and retrofit, as hundreds of communities are now forced to do. Traffic-calming initiatives of communities that are featured in the upcoming Institute of Transportation Engineers' book "Traffic Calming State-of-the-Art" are summarized. The emphasis is on regulatory mechanisms that can be used to implement traffic-calming standards in new developments. Then the standards themselves are presented, and street-network-design principles from the state of Florida's "Best Development Practices" are summarized. Standards are established for network connectivity and route density. Next, street-subdivision standards prepared for the Wilmington Area Planning Council, and currently under review for statewide adoption, are outlined. A rationale is provided for each proposed standard that differs from the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials' generally accepted standard.
