Background
This is Kingston’s first Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) Policy. It sets out how Council will respond to concerns about traffic and road safety in local streets. The policy explains how we assess requests for traffic calming (like speed humps or roundabouts), when we act, and how we involve the community in decision-making.
What’s Changing
Under the new LATM Policy, how we assess and deliver traffic calming measures will be improved. Here’s a summary of what will change if the policy is adopted:
Defined criteria to assess traffic concerns (e.g. speed, volume, crash history)
A fair system to prioritise and plan traffic calming projects
Community consultation built into the process
More transparency around how and why decisions are made
In short, the LATM Policy will make it clearer how decisions about local traffic changes are made, involve the community at each step, and ensure Council resources are used where they benefit the community most.
Document Library
