For years the Management office has heard reports of traffic concerns throughout the community, ranging from parking complaints, speeding, rolling through stop signs, failure to yield for pedestrians, and more. Recently the Association reached out to the Town of Danville about possible traffic calming measures through the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (“NTMP”).  

 

The first step of the NTMP is to measure traffic speeds and volume in the community. We had this completed over the course of a week or two at three different locations in the community on Glasgow Circle, all midway between stop signs. The placement was chosen to avoid slowing speeds near the stop signs (both prior to and after the stop signs).  The radars were placed at points which the Town Engineer believed would see the highest speeds in order to obtain a good understanding of the speeds of drivers in the community.

 

We have attached the full results of the radar deployment for any interested homeowners; however simplified, the average speeds and the 85th percentile speeds were at or below the speed limit for all three radar locations. Average speeds ranged from 17 to 21 MPH with the 85th percentile speeds between 22 to 25 MPH. 

 

In general this is good news. The vast majority of traffic in the community is at or below posted speed limits and the Town Transportation Analysts found traffic to be appropriate. That being said, we live in a residential neighborhood with a lot of children, dog walkers, and pedestrians abound; please be conscious of your speed in the community, come to full stops at the Stop Signs, and yield to pedestrians. 

 

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the Management Office.
