The City of Port St. Lucie is committed to ensuring the overall safety and livability of residential neighborhoods. One way to meet this commitment is through a collaboration of city staff and property owners in an effort to minimize the impact of traffic on neighborhoods.

The City of Port St. Lucie Neighborhood Traffic Calming Policy and Guidelines(PDF, 976KB) provides a process for identifying and addressing problems related to speeding, excessive volumes and safety on neighborhood streets. The policy provides a procedure for considering, evaluating, and implementing requests for traffic calming measures within the city.

To develop the draft Traffic Calming Policy, staff researched and gathered adopted Traffic Calming Policies from similar municipalities throughout Florida and the United States and incorporated their adopted guidelines and thresholds as a starting point. After the draft was complete, a public involvement workshop was conducted by staff to solicit comments and concerns on the proposed policy. In addition, the draft Policy was made available on the city’s website and a dedicated email address was established to allow residents to comment on the Policy if they could not attend the workshop. After a six-month review period, comments were reviewed and incorporated (as applicable) into the Final Policy.
