Traffic calming
SuDS components can include measures directly or indirectly related to traffic calming (eg build outs such as bioretention areas). These can, in turn, deliver benefits such as reduced risk of road accidents or increased opportunities for street-based recreation. Whilst it is very difficult to directly and robustly link SuDS to traffic calming, the diagram below shows a potential benefit pathway.
