What’s new:
SFMTA is installing traffic calming devices (speed humps) on over 100 residential streets across the city this winter.
Streets For All SF is sponsoring 20 Telraam traffic sensors to be deployed on these streets, to measure the impact of traffic calming on speeds and vehicle volumes.
If you live on one of the streets slated for a new speed hump, table, or cushion, fill out the application form and help us measure the impact of the city’s program!
Earlier this summer, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) announced that it would suspend applications for the residential traffic calming program. Since 2021, the SFMTA has accumulated a backlog of projects and has paused the request-based program to address the surge. Now, the SFMTA will be installing traffic calming measures in 141 locations, primarily on the west and south sides of the city, to meet the demand from residents for safer streets.
Map of locations across San Francisco where the SFMTA will be installing speed humps, speed cushions, and speed tables on residential streets in the winter of 2025-2026.
Traffic calming refers to a set of design measures and strategies aimed at reducing vehicle speeds and improving street safety for all users, including pedestrians and cyclists. In this cycle, the SFMTA will be using speed humps, speed cushions, and speed tables—various types of devices that raise sections of the road—to slow driver speeds on residential streets.
We plan to track whether these new speed humps and cushions are effective in reducing speeding and making our streets safer by deploying 20 S2 Telraam sensors to residents around the city. Streets For All will cover the cost of the sensor and the first 12 months of the Telraam subscription service.
We will then share this data, like vehicle volumes and speeds, with the SFMTA and the community by making it publicly available.
This follows our pilot program, in which Streets For All San Francisco (then KidSafe SF) aimed to track the impact of Slow Streets by installing 50 Telraam S2 sensors to measure volumes and speeds of all activity—cars, bikes, pedestrians, buses, trucks—before and after the installations.
In December 2022, the SFMTA Board approved a permanent Slow Streets program with target vehicle volumes and speeds for 16 Slow Streets. Slow Streets limit traffic but are not closed to all cars; drivers may still use the roads for local access to get to their homes or businesses. We were able to capture these changes and found that most Slow Streets with Telraam devices met the City’s vehicle volume and speed goals: There were less than 1,000 cars per day, and they drove less than 15 miles per hour on average.
We are eager to see SFMTA move towards a more proactive approach to residential traffic calming. Boston has pioneered this model, standardizing speed hump construction to install them quickly and efficiently across neighborhoods. Request-based systems like San Francisco’s often favor higher-resource neighborhoods where residents have more time and ability to advocate for their own block. A proactive approach would be more equitable, directing the city’s resources to where they are needed most.
For this cycle, if you live in one of these locations in San Francisco and have a clear view of your street from a 1st- or 2nd-story window, apply now to host a Telraam device and be a key part of future initiatives. Know someone else who can help? Forward this to your neighbors and friends.
