Map of Projects (2021-2025)

This is a map showing projects to reduce speed on neighborhood cut-through routes. It shows the locations for speed bumps, speed cushions and other traffic calming projects on streets throughout the city. PBOT understands that this map is not accessible for users of assistive technology. Due to the complexity of the information the map provides and the currently available map platforms at the city, it will take some time to make adjustments. We thank you for your patience while we work on a technology-based solution. As we work toward providing accessibility, please contact email address and/or program name phone number to reach PBOT staff who can assist you to get the data you need from the map. You can also contact PBOT’s ADA Coordinator at Lisa.Strader@portlandoregon.gov or at 503-823-5703.
Again, thank you for your understanding and patience.
How were the projects chosen?
PBOT developed an evaluation matrix combining traffic operations like automobile speeds and volumes, policy considerations like priority safe routes to school corridors, and equity impacts using PBOT's Equity Matrix. Streets with the highest speeds and traffic volumes in areas of highest needs were prioritized.
Funding is from the Fixing Our Streets program.
Program Highlight - NE 119th Traffic Chicane project
Traffic chicanes are coming NE 119th Ave in spring or summer 2025. Traffic chicanes help slow vehicles by requiring people driving to navigate the street more cautiously. PBOT has received speeding complaints from residents on NE 119th and the traffic chicanes are expected to reduce speeds.
The traffic chicanes are installed using more temporary materials. The pilot project's goal is to determine if chicanes can reduce speeds more cost-effectively on narrow streets compared to speed bumps. Other streets in the pilot are SE 62nd and SW Burlingame avenues.
Traffic speed data is collected both before and after implementation to determine impacts to the street. SW Burlingame Ave is the first location in the pilot project.
Why traffic calming on NE 119th Avenue?
NE 119th Avenue is near Sacramento Elementary school. Nearby streets have traffic calming speed bumps. This project aims to lower speeds similarly to other streets and cost less than a typical speed bump project.
Where will the traffic chicanes be installed?
Program Highlight - SE 62nd Traffic Chicane project
Traffic chicanes are coming to SE 62nd Ave in summer or fall 2025. Traffic chicanes help slow vehicles by requiring people driving to navigate the street more cautiously. PBOT has received speeding complaints from residents on SE 62nd Ave and the traffic chicanes are expected to reduce speeds. The traffic chicanes will be installed on SE 62nd Ave from SE Clatsop to SE Flavel streets.
The traffic chicanes are installed using more temporary materials. The pilot project's goal is to determine if chicanes can reduce speeds more cost-effectively on narrow streets compared to speed bumps. Other streets in the pilot are NE 119th and SW Burlingame avenues. Here is a picture of the traffic chicanes on SW Burlingame.
Traffic speed data is collected both before and after implementation to determine impacts to the street.
