Vision Zero Street Labs are a great way to work with the City to bring traffic safety improvements to your neighbourhood using adaptable traffic calming measures.
Each Street Lab project is tailored to the unique needs of the community to creatively address neighbourhood traffic safety concerns such as speeding, short-cutting and other unsafe driving behaviours.
If you live, work or play in a neighbourhood selected for a Street Lab, you can share your lived experience by participating in various engagement activities.
If you have a Street Lab in your neighbourhood, sign up to receive updates from the project team.

Vision Zero Street Labs follow a 5-step process.
A community member applies for a Vision Zero Street Lab to address traffic safety concerns in their neighbourhood. The City will review the application and gather more information to get a better understanding of the concerns and determine whether a Street Lab should be explored in the community.
Note: Intake is currently closed. Applications for 2024 ran from November 20 to December 17, 2023.
If your neighbourhood is selected for Street Lab engagement, the City will explore residents’ perspectives and gain insights into their lived experiences and traffic safety concerns.
Residents in neighbourhoods selected for engagement are asked to participate in the following activities:
The results of the engagement will be used in combination with technical data to determine if a Street Lab is needed to address traffic safety concerns, or if another Safe Mobility program would be more beneficial. A What We Heard Report will be shared with the results.
City staff will use what they have learned during the engagement step to develop a Street Lab Plan and share it with residents. See examples of traffic calming measures below that may be included in the Street Lab plan.
City staff will bring the Street Lab to life by installing adaptable measures to address traffic safety concerns.
Adaptable traffic calming measures allow the City to trial traffic safety solutions quickly and effectively, with the ability to make adjustments as needed. Adaptable measures may include:
Community members will be given an opportunity to provide feedback on the project after the measures have been installed for approximately 3 months through a survey. This feedback will help inform any next steps.
Vision Zero Street Labs provide a neighbourhood and residents with:
The City will begin to evaluate the project approximately 3 to 6 months after the installation of a Street Lab. This will give the community time to experience the changes, learn and adjust if needed.
The City reviews resident feedback and technical and policy considerations to determine whether changes are needed. If no changes are identified, the project will remain in place.
Opportunities to convert the installation to permanent are reviewed through road renewal or the path to permanence process.
The City of Edmonton provides the following support during the Street Lab process:
