City of Calgary – Traffic Calming Curbs
Traffic Calming Curbs (or TC Curbs) allow the City of Calgary to traffic calm streets quickly, at a low cost. Pre-cast TC Curbs can physically alter a space in hours without impacting utilities or drainage, at one-tenth the cost of conventional traffic calming methods. TC Curbs are modular and easily adjusted, can be pinned to the pavement, are reinforced to be driven over, and use pigmented and sulphate-resistant cement for durability. They are a useful tool to encourage safer road use by changing the road environment.
This award recognizes a TAC member organization for contributions and innovative approaches to the development and enhancement of sustainable urban transportation.
