| description | A healthy living environment is vital to the positive lifestyle of a community. When traffic volumes or vehicle speeds in residential areas increase because of street design, social street activities are greatly reduced, and the feeling of well being in the affected neighbourhood is threatened.

Living environment in many residential areas has been deteriorating mainly because of these reasons. Addressing this issue, traffic calming measures is being perceived as a viable tool to reduce traffic speeds and accidents. The purpose of this research is to find the balance between traffic and environments by analysing the living environment through traffic calming measures.
