With the vehicle fleet continues to increase, the traffic problem is becoming worse and more complex. Traffic congestion also brings great inconvenience to the normal life. In order to solve these problems, many domestic cities began to learn traffic calming from foreign countries. Traffic calming means a combination of a series of measures with the purpose of reducing the negative effects caused by the use of motor vehicles, changing the driving behavior, and improving the street environment for non-motorized users. The theory and practice of traffic calming in foreign countries are relatively mature, but the domestic cities have not achieved the desired results in applications. Combining with the domestic situation, this paper summarized the current main measures of traffic calming at home and abroad, then discussed the design, advantages and disadvantages, application conditions of several commonly used measures, and gave some relative advices. This paper is of certain guidance significance to the domestic study and engineering application.
