Oceanside City Council Approves Living Speed Bump Project Location to Combat Coastal Erosion

The project aims to reduce traffic congestion and promote sustainable transportation options in the city.

Introduction

The Oceanside City Council has made a significant decision that will have a lasting impact on the city’s transportation infrastructure. The council has unanimously approved the siting recommendation for the “Living Speed Bumps” pilot project, a innovative initiative aimed at reducing traffic congestion and promoting sustainable transportation options in the city.

What are Living Speed Bumps? Living Speed Bumps are a type of traffic calming device that incorporates greenery and landscaping into the design. They are designed to slow down traffic while also providing a visually appealing and sustainable solution to urban traffic management. The concept is simple: by incorporating plants and trees into the speed bump design, the city can create a more pleasant and calming environment for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists. ### Key Features of Living Speed Bumps

Green infrastructure: Living Speed Bumps incorporate plants and trees into the design, providing a natural and sustainable solution to urban traffic management.
