Countless studies show that street trees slow cars and calm traffic, and meet many other CIty objectives. Please, if you do one thing, add this! How Street Trees help make our roads safer - Trees for Streets Safe Streets :: Green Cities: Good Health (washington.edu)

Also, several of the streets in Hyattsville listed as "local" have double yellow lines which suggest they are collectors or arterials and promote faster speeds. Removing center striping on local streets should be added as a traffic calming tool: Ask R. Moses: Does Center Line Striping Make Streets Safer?
