Attend city council and planning commission meetings. File a petition to install speed tables on the street that you reside on. If you live in a large subdivision without an alternative entrance, get the Home-owner's Association involved. If no one is speeding, you may simply have to live with the traffic volume if any of these agencies do not offer any relief for the issue. Make certain that your neighbors support the idea as well since no one likes speed tables or dips.... they really are not the proper solution, which is for people to drive responsibly in residential areas. |

Appeal to your local government for speed bumps, lights, traffic limitations (no thru traffic signs) etc. |

Some neighborhoods have been able to reduce traffic by closing the road to through traffic, closing roads which traffic can use as a short cut to other roads. Additionally, if the issue is speed, you can ask your city council to increase patrols during the time when traffic is heavier than normal. Increased radar patrol by police is a strong deterrent to people using the street as a short-cut.
Speed bumps do not work. Most communities have eliminated them due to lawsuits. If a driver loses control due to a speed bump, communities have been held liable for any injuries and damages. |

You need to attend your town meetings and bring the issue up. You should also contact the alderman for your area and address the issue with them.
You need to get a petition signed by all of the people in your neighborhood who are not happy with the situation and send it to your alderman, your mayor, and anyone else in your local government. Make a big noise. |

this may be more for slowing traffic than eliminating it but Ive tried it and it works just tape a black hair dryer to your rear view mirror and park it on your street |
