  • Gateway Treatment

neckdown.jpg

A gateway treatment is a combination of traffic-calming measures (bulbouts, landscaping, raised crosswalks, etc.) used at the entrance of a residential street used to slow turning vehicles and limit through-traffic. It serves to signal cars that they are entering a residential street where they should drive more slowly and carefully (and less frequently) than on adjacent busy streets. Mulry Square in Manhattan's West Village is an excellent example of an intersection which has been made far safer with the addition of a gateway treatment.
