CLB adopts traffic‑calming policy to guide installation of devices, clarifies complaints won't automatically trigger bumps

The Cobb County legislative body approved a resolution creating a policy and procedures for traffic‑calming devices after a presentation tied to concerns from the highway commission. The resolution, introduced with input from Randy Dipe, chairman of the highway commission, establishes guidelines for when temporary or permanent traffic‑calming measures such as speed cushions or signage are appropriate. The presenter and commissioners emphasized that a single complaint will not automatically produce a physical device and that the policy provides criteria and a process for evaluation before installation. Commissioners moved and approved the resolution; the vote was recorded on the meeting record as carried. The policy will be used by highway staff and local committees to evaluate requests and to prioritize engineering and funding for traffic‑calming implementations.
