NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT: ALBUQUERQUE'S EXPERIENCE SO FAR

The City of Albuquerque installed a series of traffic circles in one neighborhood, and in the 1970s a fairly affluent neighborhood hired a consultant who submitted to the City a traffic management plan designed to divert cut-through traffic from the neighborhood. This has succeeded. Another neighborhood worked through a citizen traffic committee for nearly a year to develop a similar plan, only to have it shouted down in a neighborhood meeting. This paper details how the city obtained a workable traffic management program.
