Abstract:

The West Yellowstone Business Improvement Advisory Board (BIAB) reached out to the Western Transportation Institute (WTI) in fall 2023 to request help slowing traffic through W. Yellowstone, Montana, to create safer streets, especially for pedestrians. In October 2023, WTI met with Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) staff to discuss the possibility of a pop-up traffic calming project on state Highway 20, which also serves as a W. Yellowstone downtown business district with high pedestrian use. MDT was open to the idea given that a traffic calming project would be temporary, compliant with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), and installed on the 25 mile per hour (mph) section of road through town. This traffic calming project is intended to test whether interim-style pop-up installations achieve project goals and to assess community perceptions around safety, usability, and aesthetics. For this project, goals were to slow drivers’ speed and increase pedestrian safety on Hwy 20.
