NDOT Announces Spring 2025 Traffic Calming Project Selections
25 projects represent a cross-section of urban and suburban neighborhoods across 22 districts
The Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure (NDOT) is announcing 25 newly selected traffic calming projects. The prioritized projects were chosen from over 600 submissions 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 a street, and placing traffic circles at intersections. You can learn more about NDOT’s Traffic Calming Toolkit here: Neighborhood Street Traffic Calming Toolkit.
Based on applications and data collected, NDOT staff selected the following 25 neighborhood streets for Spring 2025 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 respective 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 opens two traffic calming application periods per year. The next application window is from March 3, 2025, through March 17, 2025. Neighborhoods can submit their applications here:
