TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT POLICY; REPEALING CONFLICTING
RESOLUTIONS; INCLUDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; AND
ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that residents throughout the City of
Georgetown are often concerned about high traffic speeds and/or volumes in residential areas.
Speeding vehicles and unexpected traffic volumes, whether perceived or real, may contribute to a
sense of uneasiness or create safety concerns within a community; and

Management Policy (NTMP) which provides an objective and comprehensive framework to better
address mitigation of adverse effects of traffic in residential areas; and
WHEREAS, the City Council now finds it necessary and appropriate to amend the NTMP
to incorporate provisions for traffic -calming measures that promote the safety and livability of
local neighborhoods, and to revise the language of said NTMP to provide greater clarity and
understanding regarding the procedures for establishing or modifying speed limits, as well as for
planning, approving, and implementing neighborhood traffic -calming and safety projects on
residential streets, residential collectors, and neighborhood collectors owned and maintained by
the City of Georgetown; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the adoption of an amended NTMP is in the best
interest of the public and the residents of the City.

City of Georgetown
Neighborhood Traffic Management Program
DEFINITIONS
Arterial Streets
A street designed to carry large volumes of local and regional traffic into or out of the City which
provides for efficient vehicular movement between distant locations, decreasing traffic on local and
collector streets.
Bulb uut (a.k.a. Curb Extension
A sidewalk extension that narrows the roadway at an intersection or mid -block, reducing crossing
distance for pedestrians and slowing turning vehicles.
Chicane
A series of alternating curb extensions or shifts in the roadway alignment that create an S-shaped travel
path, used to slow traffic.
Chokers
Curb extensions or build -outs that narrow the travel lane at mid -block or intersection approaches to
slow traffic and discourage passing.
Lateral Shift
A curb extension or alignment change that causes the travel lane to shift sideways, forcing drivers to
reduce speed.
Local Street
A street that provides access to residential and commercial properties with short trip lengths, low
speeds, and typically serves local traffic only.
Major Collectors
A street that connects and distributes traffic between Arterial Streets and Local Streets providing access
and movement between neighborhoods, parks, schools, retail areas and the arterial street system. A
collector street may serve both residential and commercial development, depending on the type of
collector and average daily traffic volume.
Mitigation
Strategies or improvements implemented to reduce the negative impacts of traffic (e.g., installing
signals, adding turn lanes, applying traffic calming, adjusting signal timing).
Neighborhood Collectors
A street that primarily serves the local traffic needs of a subdivision, neighborhood or development,
with relatively low traffic counts and lower speeds.
iii
City of Georgetown
Neighborhood Traffic Management Program
Platted Neighborhood
The final map of all or a portion of a subdivision previously approved by the proper decision -making
body. A Final Plat shall be prepared in accordance with the provisions of this Code and those of any
other applicable local regulation, with the purpose of being prepared to be placed on record in the office
of the County Clerk.
Prima Facie Speed Limit
A default speed limit established by state law where no specific limit is posted. For example, in Texas:
30 mph in urban districts, 15 mph in alleys, 70 mph on highways outside urban areas (unless otherwise
posted).
Residential Collectors
A residential street that connects and distributes residential traffic between Local Streets and Major
Collectors and Arterials. May directly serve residential development, with limited spacing between
access points.
Roundabout
A circular intersection where traffic flows counterclockwise around a central island, designed to
improve safety and efficiency by reducing conflict points and requiring yielding at entry.
Traffic Calming Devices
Physical measures designed to slow or reduce traffic speeds and volumes in residential/neighborhood
areas (e.g. bulb out, chokers, traffic circles, roundabouts).
Traffic Circle
A small circular intersection (often on local streets) where traffic yields to circulating traffic, but usually
less formal in design than a modern roundabout (may allow stop control, higher speeds, or different
yielding rules).
Traffic Studies
Systematic investigation of traffic conditions in a specific area to understand how vehicles, pedestrians,
and sometimes cyclists move through it. The purpose is to provide data and analysis to help make
informed decisions about traffic control, road design or safety improvements.
iv
City of Georgetown Neighborhood Traffic Management Program
PURPOSE
The Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP) addresses safety concerns in
residential neighborhoods with the installation of warranted small-scale traffic calming devices,
signage, striping and/or techniques. The NTMP process is initiated by residents, through their
Homeowners Associations (HOA)/ Neighborhood Associations (NOA) or elected representatives.
Representatives
For purposes of this program, neighborhoods with an established HOA or NOA will be
represented by that governing body. The application will require a minimum of 51 % of property owners
within the HOA/ NOA, or subdivision, supporting the application. In neighborhoods without such a
governing body, residents may elect representatives to participate in the program. To elect a
representative, the neighborhood must secure written support from at least 51% of the platted lots
within the subdivision in favor of participation.
In all cases, the project must be supported by at least 51% of the platted lots within the platted
subdivision, not just the residents on the affected street.
Some mitigation measures require unanimous (100%) support from the property owners whose
properties would be directly affected. Please contact the Transportation Department at _ to confirm
the level of support required for your proposed project.
The elected representatives, HOA, or NOA will serve as the "Requestor" for the purposes of this
program. The Requestor of record will receive all correspondence, act as the primary point of contact,
and serve as the liaison to any community organizations within whose boundaries the requested study
area lies.
Requestors must submit a complete NTMP application.
Program Goals and Objectives
■ Improve Neighborhood Traffic Safety: The NTMP seeks to promote and maintain a safe,
comfortable, and pleasant environment for all users of neighborhood streets through targeted
traffic mitigation projects. The NTMP ensures that traffic mitigation efforts are guided by
community input and involvement to ensure that the City's actions reflect the priorities and
needs of residents in their daily lives.
■ Preserve Neighborhood Character and Livability: The NTMP ensures that traffic management
efforts enhance, rather than diminish, the unique character and quality of life within each
neighborhood. By prioritizing the comfort, safety, and residential nature of these areas, the
v
City of Georgetown
Neighborhood Traffic Management Program
program seeks to maintain the sense of community and protect neighborhoods from the negative
impacts of excessive traffic and automobile use.
■ Increase Neighborhood Involvement: The NTMP is designed to foster active resident
participation in identifying traffic concerns, shaping practical solutions, and supporting their
implementation. By engaging the community throughout the process, the program empowers
residents to weigh the benefits and trade-offs of potential projects and ensure that outcomes
reflect their priorities and values.
Eligibility

APPROVED NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC CALMING OPTIONS
The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) defines traffic calming as "the combination of physical
measures that reduce the negative effects of motor vehicle use, alter driver behavior, and improve conditions for
non -motorized street users."
Traffic calming mechanisms encompass horizontal deflections such as chicanes, bulb -outs, and
roundabouts; all designed to reduce speeds and manage traffic volumes.
Any traffic calming device or geometric street feature must be approved by Transportation.
Any warranted mitigation is to be installed in public right-of-way.
