Maintaining safe and efficient streets is the policy of the City of Paso Robles. The Traffic Calming Program (PDF) was developed to provide the means to respond to unacceptable motoring behavior in existing neighborhoods and to introduce concepts to curb such issues in new development.
About the Program
