Country Club Old Fort Traffic Calming Map

Traffic Calming Initiative

  • Prior to the Magnolia Road Closure and the subsequent increased traffic impacts, Woodland Drives Neighborhood, after securing the required 75% support from impacted residents (parcels touching the street right-of-way within the project limits), submitted a petition for the City of Tallahassee (COT) to conduct a traffic study to determine whether Old Fort Drive, Country Club Drive, and Myers Park Drive qualify for traffic calming devices pursuant to the COT’s criteria.

  • The City conducted an assessment on Country Club Drive, Old Fort Drive, and Myers Park Drive and all there streets qualified for traffic calming.

  • The three streets met the requirements of over 150 vehicle trips per day, and the 85th percentile speeds recorded were “well over” the posted speed limit of 30 mph.

  • Based on the results of the traffic study, the City of Tallahassee (COT) is proposing a series of traffic humps as an initial traffic calming approach for Old Fort Drive, Country Club Drive, and Myers Park Drive (map of the plan was provided to impacted residents).

  • All three streets have secured the required 67% of ballots in support, and traffic calming will be implemented per the COT’s proposed plan.

  • The City marked the locations, and the Board provided feedback suggesting some revisions and additional measures.

  • The COT expects to respond back to us during the week of May 5, 2025.

  • Implementation of the speed humps should follow soon after.
