the measures taken to slow down vehicles and improve safety on roads
Traffic calming refers to measures taken to reduce the speed of vehicles and improve safety on roads, especially in areas with heavy pedestrian or cyclist activity. This can include features like speed bumps, narrower lanes, or roundabouts. The goal is to make roads safer and more comfortable for people walking, cycling, or living in the area.
