proposal type: Competent authority response
response: "Response from the Ministry of Infrastructure\nTraffic calming is a set\
  \ of civil engineering and regulatory measures to ensure that traffic conditions\
  \ in settlements and other sensitive environments are such that driving speeds are\
  \ adapted to administrative limits or to the actual permissible conditions. These\
  \ measures minimise the potential for traffic accidents while at the same time minimising\
  \ their potential consequences.     Traffic calming devices are of various designs,\
  \ such as traffic signs, acoustic brakes, sinusoidal, trapezoidal and prefabricated\
  \ humps, ramps, median and side traffic islands and roundabouts. Recently, active\
  \ designs have also been introduced, which through their active action select offenders\
  \ and thus contribute to the preservation of the environment.   The installation\
  \ of physical traffic calming devices/resources on the carriageway is only permissible\
  \ on the basis of preliminary analyses (data on a higher proportion of persistent\
  \ non-compliance with the speed limit over a longer period of time, or data on the\
  \ number of traffic accidents, etc...). The decision to implement a measure must\
  \ be technically justified and the choice of the type of measure must ensure that\
  \ the required effect is achieved. Traffic calming measures are implemented on the\
  \ basis of the desired speed to be achieved by implementing the measure on the dangerous\
  \ section of road. The desired speed is defined by the transport speed of the device\
  \ and the spacing of the devices, while the transport speed of the device depends\
  \ on the geometry of the device.  Traffic calming devices and measures shall be\
  \ designed in accordance with the Ordinance on the mandatory application of the\
  \ technical specification /TSC 03.800:2009/ (Official Journal of the RS, No 21/00),\
  \ and the Regulation on traffic signalling and traffic equipment on roads (Official\
  \ Journal of the RS, No 99/15 and No 46/17). These regulations prescribe the precise\
  \ geometric elements (horizontal, vertical, rounding) for the dimensioning of each\
  \ device for a given speed of travel and are based on international expert findings.\
  \ The current formal regulation of traffic calming in settlements is adequate and\
  \ comparable to the European area, and there are no valid reasons for changing or\
  \ abolishing the legal solutions governing \"traffic calming devices and measures\"\
