• New configuration: Shamrock Street

  This new configuration was done to reduce the speed of cars and to ensure the safety of pedestrians. Curb extensions are physical traffic calming measures. They increase the safety of road users. There are several possible traffic calming measures.
  
  Benefits of curb extensions include:

  - Reduced pedestrian crossing distance (from 4 lanes to 2 lanes);

  - Increased motorist attention by changing the geometry at the intersection;

  - Increased visibility at the intersection for both the pedestrian and the vehicle;

  - Preventing parking at intersections;

  - Between extensions, pedestrian traffic goes through parking spaces and not in a traffic lane.
