WestSac: traffic calming around Sutter Health Park
In response to a comment from a reader, I went to look at the area around Sutter Health Park, primarily the intersections of 5th Street and Cabaldon Parkway, and 3rd Street and Cabaldon Parkway. Note that Google Maps and Google Earth photos from July 2024 do not show the current configuration of these intersections with various traffic calming features, and vertical delineators often do not show up. If you want to see or experience it, you’ll need to go out there for yourself.

lane channelization and centerline hardening
Vertical delineators have been used to calm traffic at many locations in the City of Sacramento and elsewhere. There are four primary settings: temporary curb extensions (SacCity curb extensions + daylighting, or not, and many others), separated bikeway markers (Separated bikeway demo on P St, and many others), lane channelization (Strong SacTown: Things that work: traffic posts, and others), and centerline hardening.

Prairie City Road is fully open again between U.S. Highway 50 and White Rock Road following completion of a pavement repair project that brought weekday closures to the heavily traveled corridor. While the recent work addresses some of the roadway’s most immediate problems, city officials say the repairs are an interim fix and that much larger improvements remain in the long-range plans.

SacCity: more lane channelization locations
The City of Sacramento has recently installed lane channelizers at new locations in the central city. The three I’ve noticed are shown below. If you are aware of others, please let me know. The four locations that have been in place for several years are 15th Street (southbound) at O Street and at R Street, and 16th Street (northbound) at R Street and O Street. See Strong SacTown: Things that work: traffic posts and traffic calming measures, Lane Channelization, for these older locations. There are other locations where vertical delineators separate opposing lanes of traffic, which I call centerline hardening; for another post.
