摘要: The Transportation Division of West Palm Beach city, Florida, is implementing innovative practices based on traffic calming, New Urbanism, and associated principles. In North America, the city's program can be considered "second generation traffic calming," prioritizing economic development, revitalization, aesthetics, pedestrian comfort and safety, and driver behavior modification, resulting in intense redevelopment activity. Other programs of the city, ranging from home ownership to facade enhancements, complement the program. This comprehensive, coordinated approach to city building has helped stabilize and revive the downtown and several "challenged" neighborhoods, while stimulating significant private investment. Traffic calming has become a normal component of these efforts.
