• The City of San Diego has established Traffic Calming Guidelines to lay out the process for citizen requests regarding traffic calming.
• To get started, residents should request a form submit a detailed request to the City’s Transportation Department. Traffic data, or other relevant information, is gathered by Transportation Engineering Operations Division staff and the issue under investigation is deemed deserving of action or not.
• Once a comment is received, the City will investigate the site and consult with other agencies such as local community groups, the Fire Department, the Police Department, transit agencies, school districts, environmental services, the Street Division, and respond back to you. 
• If traffic calming measures are determined to be necessary, a neighborhood planning meeting is held to notify residents of the plan and form a Task Force, comprised of local residents or business owners in the affected area. This Task Force will play an active role in determining the best solution.
• If the problem is not a candidate for traffic calming measures, City staff will contact you with this information. If staff decides the project is not a candidate ask if other solutions can be provided. 
• Note: In San Diego, residents can also request assistance from the Police Department, their Local Council person, or their Community Planning group. Each community in the City has a community planning group made up of community residents that meet once a month to review a variety of issues. Go to the link to find out when your community planning group meets.
