The Leesburg Standing Residential Traffic Committee was created as a result of the Residential Traffic Task Force Report completed in September, 2000. The committee consists of citizens from the 4 quadrants in Town, 3 at large members, a Councilmember, a Planning Commission Liaison Representative, a member of the Leesburg Volunteer Fire Company, representatives from the Department of Engineering and Public Works, a representative from the Department of Planning, Zoning & Development and a representative from the Police Department. The committee meets on the first Monday of the month at 7:00 P.M. in the Lower Level Meeting Room of the Town Government Center. Citizens and members of the press may attend the meetings.
The committee concentrates largely on pedestrian safety and traffic calming measure tools which attempt to slow traffic within residential communities with minimal or no restriction to access. The Traffic Calming Program will be initiated upon complaint of speeding (average speed is 31 m.p.h. or greater) in a residential neighborhood, request for $200.00 add-on penalties for speeding in a neighborhood, or when traffic calming measures are requested by one or more residents of a neighborhood or evaluation of the neighborhood for installation of such measures is requested by the Town Council.
The program consists of sequential phases:
- Document speeding problem
- Community awareness and education
- Selective enforcement
- Non-physical devices (increased fines)
- Physical devices
Each phase of the program is evaluated for effectiveness.
The committee considers cut-through traffic restrictions, multi-way stop sign policies, through truck restrictions, 'Watch for Children' signs and the promotion of efficient transportation systems. The committee is also currently studying various traffic calming projects in each of the Town's quadrants to be considered by the Town Council for approval.
