Home Zones

Home Zones are thoughtfully designed neighborhoods that prioritize the safety and comfort of pedestrians, cyclists, and residents over through traffic. They typically feature traffic-calming measures such as narrowed roads, speed bumps, and shared spaces, encouraging slower vehicle movement and increased community interaction. The goal is to create pleasant, accessible environments where families can walk, play, and socialize safely, fostering a greater sense of community. Home Zones often include features like green spaces, street trees, and communal areas, making neighborhoods more inviting and environmentally friendly while reducing the dominance of cars.
