Metro Neighborhood Traffic Management Program
The Metro Neighborhood Traffic Management Program
(MNTMP) is designed to help mitigate the effects of speeding and
cut-through traffic in residential neighborhoods. As major roadways
and intersections in Nashville become more congested, frustrated
motorists often resort to using local residential streets to bypass
congestion.
The MNTMP represents the continual effort and commitment of Metro to improve the quality of life in our neighborhood areas. Metro Public Works, along with other agencies such as the Metro Planning Department and the Metro Police Department, are working together to find solutions for accommodating growth in a way that can protect neighborhoods from the negative impacts of traffic.
The
program helps provide Nashville area neighborhoods with a process
for identifying and addressing problems related to speeding motorists,
excessive traffic volumes and overall concern for safety on residential
streets. Neighborhood residents participate in developing and
evaluating the various requirements, benefits and trade-offs of
traffic calming techniques and devices
within their own neighborhood and become actively involved in
the decision-making process.
