Traffic calming infrastructure, that's how Bike Portland editor, Jonathan Maus, describes the new circular concrete barricades that have been installed in intersections along some of Portland's neighborhood greenways–slow residential streets that prioritize people walking, bicycling, and rolling.
Riding the momentum of PBOT's Slow Streets initiative, which worked to provide additional protection to existing neighborhood greenways during the pandemic, these barriers are sturdier and more effective replacements for the A-board signage encouraging traffic to slow down for cyclists.
