The City of Palm Coast has installed all traffic-calming treatments as part of the Traffic Calming Pilot Study, an initiative prioritized by the City Council to enhance roadway safety and improve neighborhood quality of life.
Following the findings of the 2024 Residential Speed Study, speed cushions have been installed on Cimmaron Drive and Florida Park Drive to address areas of concern for speeding and crash risks. Additionally, chicanes have been implemented on Farmsworth Drive and Forest Grove Drive to create slight curves that encourage drivers to slow down. Lane narrowing measures are also in place on Woodbury Drive and Sea Trail, designed to reduce vehicle speeds and improve safety naturally.
Now that these traffic-calming treatments are fully installed, we want to hear from you! Share your feedback on how these changes affect traffic flow and neighborhood safety. Your input will help the City Council determine whether these measures should remain in place after the pilot program concludes in April 2025.
“This program is a top priority for the City Council because it’s all about making our neighborhoods safer and more enjoyable for everyone,” said Mayor Mike Norris. “Please take the time to answer the surveys so we can work together to find the best solutions.”
