The Nashville Department of Transportation announced plans last week for a new wave of of speed humps, traffic circles and other traffic calming projects.
Why it matters: Traffic calming is one of the city's main tools as it works to slow drivers down and prevent pedestrian deaths.
Zoom in:The 25 projects announced last week span all of Davidson County. They were selected from more than 600 applications.
The big picture: Speed humps have become pervasive on many neighborhood streets over the last few years.
Yes, but: Work can take a long time to complete. The city has a vast backlog of unfinished traffic calming projects, WSMV reports.
