Pop-up Traffic Calming Guide Available Online

Here’s a great tool for Montana communities to implement lighter, quicker, and lower-cost complete streets projects.

Thank you to AARP and MSU’s Western Transportation Institute for working together with us to make this program possible.

Pop-up traffic calming projects are community-based efforts to see how low-cost and temporary (7– 30 days) versions of street design elements affect the behavior and safety of all people using local streets and roadways. Design treatments include curb extensions or bulb-outs, traffic circles, bicycle facilities, pedestrian islands, and crosswalks. Bike Walk Montana’s Pop-up Traffic Calming Trailer is outfitted with materials and supplies to do these projects and is available to communities across the state. 

This guide is meant to help residents, community groups, and agency staff through the process of implementing pop-up projects.
