<br />Roadway Adjustments <br /> <br />Mid-Block Narrowing <br /> <br />~l:O <br /> <br />Purpose <br />Segment(s) of roadway narrowing where curbs <br />are extended toward the center of the roadway <br />on one or both sides of the street to constrain the <br />width of the traveled way. They provide shorter <br />pedestrian crossing distances and provide protection <br />to the beginning of a parking lane. The driver also <br />senses the roadway narrowing when approaching <br />one of these measures, which can result in speed <br />reduction. <br /> <br />~=.
