Traffic calming is usually more expensive than speed cameras. A speed bump isn't expensive but people are usually talking about stuff like bump outs and raised intersections and protected bicycle lanes and wide sidewalks when they are talking about traffic calming. Those are six figures per intersection. Cameras are low five figures.
- oblio 2y agoTraffic calming can be literally some poles or some pots with plants in them. It's the cheapest form of "infrastructure" after paint.
