Saint John will look to install speed cushions on 12 more streets throughout the city next year.
Last week, council approved an extra $450,000 for traffic calming measures in 2025.
Staff have already selected six of the 12 streets for 2025: Prince Street, Champlain Drive, Wellesley Avenue, Boars Head Road, Green Head Road and Mountain View Drive.
In addition, staff are looking at temporary rubber speed cushions on busier collector or arterial streets, with the first being proposed for Mount Pleasant Avenue East.
While similar to a speed bump or speed hump, speed cushions contain gaps to reduce the impact on emergency services and Saint John Transit.
