Effects of traffic calming measures in different urban areas
Transportation Research Procedia, 2018 XIII Conference on Transpot Engineering, CIT2018 Despite of the reduction of deaths and serious injuries in roads in Spain during the last years, this reduction has not been so important in urban areas. Consequently, Traffic calming measures (TCM) have been installed in urban areas to improve mainly safety of pedestrians and cyclists.

Traffic-Calming Measures and Road Traffic Collisions and Injuries: A Spatiotemporal Analysis [PDF]
American Journal of Epidemiology, 2023 Abstract Traffic-calming measures (TCMs) are physical modifications of the road network aimed at making the roads safer. Although researchers have reported reductions in numbers of road crashes and injuries tied to the presence of TCMs, such studies have been criticized for their pre-/post- designs.

Cardiac surgical theatre traffic: time for traffic calming measures? [PDF]
Interactive CardioVascular and Thoracic Surgery, 2010 Surgical site infections (SSIs) remain a significant cause of postoperative complications. The risk of death from a medical error in a UK hospital remains one in 300. Increased theatre traffic has been identified as a modifiable determinant of SSI and surgical error. This cross-sectional study for the first time describes the pattern of theatre traffic
