The literature review Methodology Logic model Results 13 Methodology 1. Systematic search of peer-reviewed (n=19) and grey literature (n=10) for evaluative studies of urban traffic-calming interventions on four determinants of health: Collisions Air quality Noise Active transportation 14 7

A comparison of the black-spots and the area-wide appoaches 15 E.g., The relationship between speed and noise Logic model TRAFFIC-CALMING POLICY Black-spots approach Area-wide approach PRINCIPAL MECHANISMS OF ACTION Reduction of speeds Reduction of volumes EFFECTS ON HEALTH DETERMINANTS Reduction of the number and severity of collisions Improvement of air quality Reduction of environmental noise Increase in active transportation 16 8
9 Source: Photographer: WSDOT Results: Collisions Black-spots and area-wide: substantial reductions in the number and severity of collisions for all users of the streets (drivers, cyclists, pedestrians, children, etc.). Single-lane roundabout: -77% injury collisions (Retting et al., 2001) Source: Grundy et al., 2009, p mph (32-km/h) zones in London: -42% injury collisions (-49% children) (Grundy et al., 2009) 17 Effectiveness and scale Pedestrian black spots* ( ) Sites where 8 or more pedestrians were injured (37) Road network *Victim of a road crash that resulted in an intervention by Urgences-santé Projection: NAD83, MTM zone 8 Sources: City of Montréal, Urgences-santé Cartographic prod.: MS Cloutier, 2004 Direction de santé publique de Montréal (Adapted from Morency & Drouin, 2008) (Adapted from Morency & Drouin, 2008) 18 9
10 Source: Photographer: Dan Burden. Results: Air quality Black-spots and area-wide: increase in per vehicle emissions (CO 2, VOC, CO, NO X, PM), for most interventions (speed reduction & speed variations). Area-wide: can reduce overall emissions (volume reduction). An exception: Replacing stop sings with a mini-roundabout Ambient air quality: little or no effect. 19 Results: Noise Cars: noise reduction, for most interventions (speed reduction). Heavy vehicles: noise increase, for most interventions (speed variations and/or vertical deflections). Vertical deflections: residential streets heavy vehicles Source: Photographer: Dan Burden
11 Source: Photographer: Greg Raisman. Results: Active transportation Perceived road safety: amelioration for pedestrians, parents, and drivers. Cyclists: concerned about horizontal deflections and narrowings forcing them closer to moving vehicles. Number of active trips: uncertain effects. A narrowing adapted for cyclists Physical activity: uncertain effects. 21 Summary Intervention logic: TRAFFIC-CALMING POLICY Black-spots approach Area-wide approach PRINCIPAL MECHANISMS OF ACTION Reduction of speeds Reduction of volumes EFFECTS ON HEALTH DETERMINANTS Reduction of the number and severity of collisions Improvement of air quality Reduction of environmental noise Increase in active transportation Most promising intervention: Area wide Reduces speeds Reduces speed variations Reduces traffic volume Reduces health inequalities Evidence: All street users Per vehicle emissions Total emission, with traffic volume reductions Little or no effect on air quality Cars Trucks Perceived safety (most users) # of active trips and physical activity 22 11

Age Gender Accessibility Collisions, injuries, fatalities Air quality Noise Perceived safety (motorists, cyclists, children, etc.) E.g. Collision-related injuries by Socio-Economic Status group (SES) CIHI, 2008, p

14 Average number of injuries/intersection % intersections with arterial streets or high traffic How can traffic calming reduce inequalities? Black-spots approach: Locations at high risk for collisions are often in low SES neighbourhoods. Distribution of collision-related injuries in Montréal Pedestrians Cyclists Arterial streets High traffic Promising strategy to reduce collision-related injuries (correlation to inequalities), but not evaluated Lowest Average income Highest Adapted from Morency, 2009, p How can traffic calming reduce inequalities? Area-wide approach: Giving priority to low SES neighbourhoods: Collision-related injuries 2 positive evaluations Pollution (air & noise) Perceived safety Promising, but not evaluated 28 14

TRAFFIC-CALMING POLICY Black-spots approach PRINCIPAL MECHANISMS OF ACTION Reduction of speeds EFFECTS ON HEALTH DETERMINANTS Reduction of the number and severity of collisions Improvement of air quality Area-wide approach Reduction of volumes Modal transfer (to cycling, ) Traffic diversion (from one local street to another or from local streets to major roads) Reduction of environmental noise Increase in active transportation People of low SES tend to be overrepresented near major roads + Burdens from transportation are already high 31 A simple framework near the intervention? where some of the motorized traffic might be diverted?
