By Dom Nozzi October 15, 2002 "Low-Speed Urban Streets" are streets that are designed to obligate motorists to drive at a moderate speed. On such a street, motorists should feel uncomfortable driving at higher speeds – usually because the motorist is obligated to pay attention due to the narrowness of the street, the presence of on-street parking, the frequent presence of pedestrians and cyclists, and the proximity of street trees or buildings near the street.
