traffic calming measures, such as traffic controls, pavement markings, speed humps, traffic
diverters, chokers, and raised intersections. iTRANS brings unique traffic safety expertise to

calming policies for municipalities, and traffic management plans for existing and new
communities. Our ability to work with local residents has enabled us to attain success in these
projects.
