NDOT Announces Spring 2026 Traffic Calming Project Selections

The Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure (NDOT) is announcing 25 newly selected traffic calming projects. The prioritized projects were chosen from applications by community members desiring lower traffic speeds and safer street accommodations for non-drivers in their neighborhoods. Examples of traffic calming measures include installing speed cushions, narrowing sections of the street, and placing traffic circles at intersections. To learn more, review NDOT's Neighborhood Street Traffic Calming Toolkit.


NDOT's Neighborhood Street Traffic Calming Program is one of the department's most requested programs. Projects have been proven to slow speeds, improve quality of life, and contribute to safer streets. Based on applications and data collected, NDOT staff selected the following 25 neighborhood streets for Spring 2026 project prioritization:

NDOT scored applicants based on the following criteria: vehicular speed, traffic volume, non-driver accommodations, vulnerable user injuries/fatalities, and proximity to parks, schools, libraries, and community centers. Prior to installation, NDOT will coordinate with each selected project's council member and neighborhood organization to lead meetings and consider designs. After these community meetings, a project is then voted on for approval. NDOT delivers online ballots to homeowners via mailers, and they have six weeks to submit their vote. All traffic calming projects need at least 66% approval among participants to begin construction.
NDOT accepts traffic calming applications on a rolling basis and selects projects twice a year. Neighborhoods can submit their applications here.
